Abstract
“Cost-consciousness” has become a watchword for medicine of the 1980s. As Dr McCue explains here, this principle can be successfully applied to management of urinary tract infection, saving the patient not only money but time and inconvenience as well. Specifically, Dr McCue recommends limited evaluation and single-dose or short-term antibiotic therapy in uncomplicated infections. However, he points out that further evaluation and longer therapy are usually warranted for patients who do not have uncomplicated urinary tract infection.Keywords
