The role of asymptomatic bacteriuria in young women with recurrent urinary tract infections: To treat or not to treat? "Beyond the Abstract," by Tommaso Cai and Florian M. E. Wagenlehner
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The understanding off asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) pathophysiology and natural history has been improved over the years. Initially, it was assumed to be a strong relationship between bacteriuria and pyelonephritis due to the fact that ABU has been found with particular frequency in populations more likely to develop pyelonephritis.[1] However, subsequent well-performed, randomized clinical studies have consistently documented that the treatment of bacteriuria in asymptomatic patients does not provide any benefit for the patient.[2]
