Antibiotic treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in premenopausal women
(2011) In International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents 38. p.21-35- Abstract

In placebo-controlled studies antimicrobial treatment was significantly more effective than placebo, but on the other hand showed more adverse events. The choice of antibiotic depends on the spectrum and susceptibility patterns of the uropathogens, its effectiveness for this indication, its tolerability, its collateral effects and cost. After a systematic literature search, recommendations for empiric treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis and... (More)
