Abstract
Recent changes in management have focused on reducing cost by abbreviating both the diagnostic workup and duration of treatment. Patients without a clinically obvious complicated UTI usually receive a short course of empiric therapy. Attention is also given to predisposing behaviors, such as urine retention, use of barrier contraception, inadequate fluid intake, and poor hygiene.
