title: Standards of therapy for urinary tract infections in adults.
abstract: Therapeutic standards have not been well defined for many forms of bacterial urinary tract infection. In women with uncomplicated infections, these exist for bacterial cystitis and for acute pyelonephritis. For most other categories of illness, among patients with complicated infections, no treatment regimens have been determined. As a result, well-designed clinical trials for these patient populations should be a priority.
