Opis

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain among the most frequent infectious conditions encountered in clinical practice, in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Their high frequency, clinical diversity - ranging from simple cystitis to complicated acute pyelonephritis or healthcare-associated UTIs - and the growing impact of antibiotic resistance make them a major medical and health issue. This book, dedicated to the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections, aims to provide practitioners with a pragmatic, scientifically-based framework for optimizing patient management at every stage: from rigorous urine collection to the interpretation of the cytobacteriological examination (ECBU), via the reasoned choice of empirical antibiotic therapy and therapeutic adjustment guided by the antibiogram.
