Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

Nitrofurantoin and cranberry products may reduce recurrent UTI episodes in children when used as prophylaxis, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis published in Pediatrics.

SEATTLE — Using a more robust diagnostic “continuum” for UTIs could improve the diagnosis and treatment of the most common hospital-acquired infection, according to a study.

A polybacterial sublingual vaccine, which reduced recurrent UTI rates and had few side effects, could be useful in future clinical practice, according to researchers.

A vaccine for recurrent UTIs significantly reduced UTI episodes and a need for health care resources, reducing “the personal burden” of disease, according to researchers.

Cystoscopies for recurrent UTIs yield little clinical benefit for patients both with and without high-risk features, according to a study.

Less than a week after the CDC announced that it would extend the federal mask mandate for public transportation through May 3, a federal judge in Florida overturned it.

The pain and discomfort that women experience with recurrent UTIs are compounded by the frustration that they feel from their limited treatment options, according to a focus group study in The Journal of Urology.
