Infection. 1978;6(1):29-31.
Twenty-three patients with various types of recurrent urinary tract infection were treated with a single daily dose of 160 mg gentamicin for eight to nine days. The treatment eliminated bacteriuria in 19 patients. Evaluation of the therapeutical results according to the site of infection showed elimination of bacteriuria in all patients with lower urinary tract infection. Thus a single daily dose of gentamicin can be recommended in recurrent lower urinary tract infection, and also in upper urinary tract infection not associated with a major impairment of renal function.
