Choice of antibiotic for lower urinary tract infections in men.
When lower urinary tract infection is present in a male patient, prostatic involvement must be considered. A 30-day course of treatment with one of the antibiotics shown to be superior in treating prostatitis is recommended. It is hoped that this program will eliminate needless progression or relapse of infection and reduce the subsequent risk for development of chronic prostatitis.
