[Curative treatment of lower urinary tract infections].
Because it is limited to the bladder, infection of the lower urinary tract does not lead to renal scaring. It may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. When symptomatic it never includes high fever and general symptoms. Only symptomatic infections need treatment using oral antimicrobial monotherapy for 5 to 7 days. It is necessary to search for a predisposing factor--mainly bladder dysfunction and constipation.
