  • Title: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women.
    Author: Foster RT.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 2008 Jun; 35(2):235-48, viii. PubMed ID: 18486839.
    Abstract:
    Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) present a significant problem for women and a challenge for the doctors who care for them. The diagnosis of uncomplicated UTI, which usually is not challenging, can be achieved best by a thorough assessment of patient symptoms with or without the addition of a urine dipstick test. Treatment should be based on the most recent Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines, taking into account resistance patterns in the local community. The patient who suffers from recurrent UTIs can be treated safely and effectively with continuous antibiotic prophylaxis, postcoital therapy, or self-initiated treatment.
