Over the past year, publications on clinical urinary tract infections
have formed two broad categories. The first comprises syntheses of our
understanding of management of common problems such as uncomplicated
urinary tract infections in young women and asymptomatic bacteriuria i
n aged women. The second comprises explorations that expand knowledge
in other patient populations: pregnant women, symptomatic aged women,
men, spinal injured people, and patients requiring assistance with uri
nary drainage.
