Description
This book is a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) for practising urologists.
Divided into thirteen sections, the first chapters describe different UTI circumstances, including fungal, genitourinary tuberculosis, in the intensive care unit, catheter-associated UTIs, recurrent infections in elderly women, and UTIs in renal transplant patients.
A complete chapter is dedicated to multi-drug resistant UTIs, an increasingly common problem in the treatment of infections.
The final chapters discuss vaccines for UTIs, bacterial biofilms, bacterial virulence, and imaging for UTIs.
Clinical images and tables further enhance the comprehensive text.
