title: Diagnostic and therapeutic subsets in the management of urinary tract infection.
abstract: Urinary tract infections are common and easily treated, but studies from the last decade have identified important diagnostic subsets that have led to cost-effective therapy based upon rational scientific data. Management of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the immunocompromised, the elderly and young women is addressed. Short-course antibiotic therapy and use of intravenous pyelography in young women with UTI are discussed.
