  • Title: Urinary tract infections in the 1980s.
    Author: Neu HC.
    Journal: Semin Urol; 1983 May; 1(2):130-7. PubMed ID: 6332360.
    Abstract:
    A better understanding of the pathophysiology of urinary infection has markedly altered treatment programs. Single-dose therapy should be used for infections limited to the bladder. In contrast, treatment periods of 4-6 wk are needed to yield the best cure rates in upper tract infections. TMP/SMX thrice weekly has proved to be a successful prophylactic program for women with recurrent urinary infection. In contrast to the female, young children and men require longer therapy periods for urinary infection and should always have a detailed radiologic and urologic evaluation to eliminate the possibility of structural abnormalities.
