Abstract
The published studies of the use of single dose antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of urinary tract infection have been reviewed. In women and children a single dose of any of several antimicrobial agents was as effective as a course of treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli. Trimethoprim or co-trimoxazole are currently the preferred agents for single dose therapy. Failure of single dose therapy may prove to be a simple guide as to the need for further urinary tract investigation or more intensive therapy. Single dose antimicrobial therapy is now the treatment of choice for uncomplicated urinary tract infections.Entities:
