Article Synopsis
- Uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (uLUTI) are frequently seen in primary care, with current guidelines favoring a single 3 g dose of fosfomycin, though GPs often prefer short-course treatments.
- This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of three short-course antibiotic therapies against a single dose of fosfomycin in women over 18 with uLUTI symptoms.
- The trial will involve 1120 participants and evaluate treatment effectiveness based on symptom improvement at day 7, with follow-up at 14 and 28 days to assess bacterial eradication and treatment outcomes.
Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a lung infection that can be acquired during day-to-day activities in the community (not while receiving care in a hospital). Community-acquired pneumonia poses a significant public health burden in terms of mortality, morbidity, and costs. Shorter antibiotic courses for CAP may limit treatment costs and adverse effects, but the optimal duration of antibiotic treatment is uncertain.
