Abstract
Therapeutic standards have not been well defined for many forms of bacterial urinary tract infection. In women with uncomplicated infections, these exist for bacterial cystitis and for acute pyelonephritis. For most other categories of illness, among patients with complicated infections, no treatment regimens have been determined. As a result, well-designed clinical trials for these patient populations should be a priority. Für viele Arten von bakteriellen Harnwegsinfektionen gibt es bisher keine standardisierte Therapie, ausgenommen die bakterielle Zystitis und akute Pyelonephritis bei Frauen mit unkomplizierten Infektionen. Für die meisten anderen Kategorien von Harnwegsinfektionen, einschließlich der Patienten mit komplizierten Infektionen, gibt es kein festgelegtes Therapieregime. Deshalb sollten bei diesen Patienten gut angelegte klinische Studien vorrangig durchgeführt werden.Keywords
