Abstract
Summary— This study of 96 women shows that there is doubtful value in routine antibiotic prophylaxis after urodynamic investigation. An unexpectedly high number of women harboured unsuspected infections at the time of evaluation despite prior screening, which suggests prophylaxis would be more useful if given before the tests.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
