Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection

TL;DR: The optimal treatment duration for acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis has not been established, but 10- to 14-day regimens are recommended, and patients prefer to use antimicrobials that attain high renal tissue levels, such as a fluoroquinolone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or an aminoglycoside for pyel onephritis.
