Antibiotics for pyelonephritis

Different duration of treatment in pyelonefritis based om sex characteristics


  • How to treat an urinary tract infection?
  • Differences  in the duration of antibiotic treatment (female/male differences: man should be treated double as long as women for the same disease: febrile urinary tract infection). Why?Because it is assumed that UTI in man is associated with prostate involvement (it needs longer time to efficiently  penetrate the prostatic tissue).
