title: [Therapy of urinary tract infection from the internal medicine viewpoint].
abstract: Effective treatment of urinary tract infection is dependent on a precise case history and a thorough physical examination. Before using antibacterial compounds it is mandatory that the physiological defense mechanisms be actively supported by nonspecific actions. Depending on the environment where patients are being cared for (general practitioner--hospital), the antibacterial therapy should take into account bacteriological information on the sensitivity of the bacteria to antibacterial agents.
