    Elderly men hospitalized with acute bacterial pyelonephritis survived due to appropriate antibiotics and supportive care. This study offers guidelines for diagnosing and treating this serious kidney infection in older men.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Geriatrics

    Background:

    • Acute bacterial pyelonephritis is a serious kidney infection.
    • Elderly patients often present with complex health issues.
    • Non-catheterized elderly men represent a specific demographic for this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical, laboratory, radiologic, and therapeutic features of acute, symptomatic, bacterial pyelonephritis.
    • To analyze outcomes in hospitalized, elderly, non-catheterized men.
    • To provide diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study design.
    • Inclusion of 12 consecutive elderly, non-catheterized male patients requiring hospitalization.

  • Comprehensive data collection on clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings.
  • Documentation of therapeutic interventions and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Despite advanced age, bacteremia, and septic shock, all patients survived.
    • Appropriate antibiotic therapy and supportive treatment were crucial.
    • Absence of immediately life-threatening comorbidities contributed to survival.

    Conclusions:

    • Community-acquired pyelonephritis in elderly men can be managed effectively with prompt diagnosis and treatment.
    • Guidelines for evaluation and antibiotic therapy are proposed.
    • Multifactorial approach including supportive care is vital for favorable outcomes.
