Abstract:
Questions concerning the clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women related to daily practice are discussed on the basis of personal experience and a review of the literature. Indications and rationale for a single-dose therapy with Cotrimoxazole, Trimethoprim or Fosfomycin are detailed. Special considerations are given to therapeutical approaches to recurrent infection as well as special situations like asymptomatic bacteriuria, acute urethral syndrome, bacteriuria in pregnancy and nosocomial, catheter-associated infections are discussed.
