Abstrakt: We randomized 58 women with lower urinary tract infection diagnosed on bilateral ureteral catheterization studies to a 1-day or 10-day treatment regimen. The study revealed that 1-day adequate antibacterial treatment was as effective as 10-day treatment for lower urinary tract infection. Sterile urine was obtained in all 27 women (100 per cent) given 1-day treatment and in 30 of 31 (97 per cent) given 10-day therapy. Three weeks after the 1-day treatment significantly more postmenopausal women had infected urine than premenopausal women. This difference was not seen in the 10-day group.
