Diagnostic and therapeutic subsets in the management of urinary tract infection.
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.
