Urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury after urodynamics under fosfomycin prophylaxis: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication of spinal cord injury (SCI). Urodynamic testing is widely used for characterization of vesico-sphincteric dysfunction and for therapeutic orientation. As an invasive procedure, the risk of UTI is increased so, in some medical centers, antibiotic prophylaxis is instituted.
