What is the recommended treatment for a massive urinary tract infection?

From the Guidelines

Masa uti abx treatment should prioritize a combination of amoxicillin plus an aminoglycoside, a second-generation cephalosporin plus an aminoglycoside, or an intravenous third-generation cephalosporin as empirical treatment for complicated UTI with systemic symptoms, as recommended by the European Association of Urology guidelines 1. When managing a massive urinary tract infection, it's crucial to consider the severity and patient factors to determine the best antibiotic regimen.

• The treatment should focus on broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as:
  • A combination of amoxicillin plus an aminoglycoside
  • A second-generation cephalosporin plus an aminoglycoside
  • An intravenous third-generation cephalosporin for empirical treatment of complicated UTI with systemic symptoms
• Ciprofloxacin can be used only if the local resistance rate is <10% and the entire treatment is given orally, the patient does not require hospitalization, and the patient has anaphylaxis to b-lactam antimicrobials 1.
• It's essential to manage any urological abnormality and/or underlying complicating factors, as emphasized by the European Association of Urology guidelines 1.
• The choice of antibiotic should be based on local resistance patterns, and the treatment duration generally ranges from 7-14 days, with hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics necessary for severe cases with systemic symptoms 1.

From the Research

Masa Uti Abx

• Masa uti abx adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan pengobatan antibiotik untuk infeksi saluran kemih (ISK) yang parah.
• Berikut adalah beberapa pilihan antibiotik yang dapat digunakan untuk mengobati ISK parah:

• Levofloxacin 3, 4
• Ceftriaxone 5, 6
• Ciprofloxacin 7

Pilihan Antibiotik

• Levofloxacin adalah salah satu pilihan antibiotik yang efektif untuk mengobati ISK parah, termasuk infeksi saluran kemih yang rumit dan pyelonephritis akut 3, 4.
• Ceftriaxone juga merupakan pilihan antibiotik yang efektif untuk mengobati ISK parah, terutama untuk pasien yang memerlukan rawat inap 5, 6.
• Ciprofloxacin adalah pilihan antibiotik lain yang dapat digunakan untuk mengobati ISK parah, termasuk infeksi saluran kemih yang rumit dan pyelonephritis akut 7.

Kesimpulan Tindakan

• Pilihan antibiotik untuk mengobati ISK parah harus didasarkan pada hasil uji resistensi antibiotik dan kondisi pasien 5, 6.
• Penggunaan antibiotik yang tepat dan dosis yang sesuai dapat membantu mengurangi risiko resistensi antibiotik dan memperbaiki hasil pengobatan 3, 4, 7.
