Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Angocin versus standard antibiotics for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) in terms of preventing early and recurrent infections, complications, and the need for additional prescriptions.
- Using data from over 14,000 patients diagnosed with UTI between 2005 and 2021, researchers found that patients prescribed Angocin had significantly lower odds of experiencing early relapses and recurrent infections compared to those on antibiotics.
- The results suggest that Angocin might be a preferable treatment option, as it was also linked to fewer subsequent antibiotic prescriptions, although the study found a weak, non-significant trend towards a reduction in serious kidney complications (pyelonephritis) associated with its use.
Background: In this review, aspects of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) are presented against the background of the German S2k guideline on this disease.
Objective: Quite often this disease, characterized by bladder or lower abdominal pain (permanent or intermittent) and pollakisuria without pathogenic bacteria in the urine culture, is diagnosed much too late.
Materials And Methods: The debate on disease definition, aspects on pathophysiology and epidemiology are presented.
Purpose: To evaluate efficacy and safety of vaccination with StroVac compared to placebo in patients with recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI).
Material And Methods: We performed a prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in patients with uncomplicated rUTI. Patients received three single intramuscular injections with StroVac every two weeks.
