    Author: Wuorela M, Kouri T, Laato M, Lipponen P, Sammalkorpi K, Uhari M, Uusitalo L, Vuento R.
    Journal: Duodecim; 2011; 127(21):2334-5. PubMed ID: 22204148.
    Abstract:
    This guideline is focused on the diagnostics and treatment of acute, recurrent and relapsing urinary tract infections in adults and children. Sexually transmitted diseases are not addressed, but must be considered in differential diagnostics. The resistance prevalence of the causative microbes and the ecological adverse effects of antimicrobial agents were considered important factors in selecting optimal therapeutic choices for the guideline. Diagnosis and management of cystitis in otherwise healthy women aged 18-65 years can be based on structured telephone interviews. Primary antimicrobiotic drugs are nitrofurantoin, pivmesillinam and trimetoprim for three days.
