Abstract

Purpose of review: No specific guidelines have been developed for acute cystitis management during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review aims to provide up-to-date information about treatment and follow-up in patients with symptoms suggesting lower urinary tract infection.

Recent findings: Uncomplicated cystitis does not need microbiological confirmation; thus, clinical diagnosis via telephone interview or questionnaires may be done. When complicated infections are suspected, in-person evaluation or close follow-up is mandatory. Antibiotic treatment is still the gold standard for treatment, although non-pharmacological strategies have also been suggested and further investigations are warranted.

Summary: Urinary tract infections are still a frequent reason for consultation that needs to be addressed in both primary care and specialized levels. Their management during the pandemic is similar than in precedent years, but telehealth options have emerged which can facilitate diagnosis and treatment.

新冠肺炎时代急性膀胱炎的救治

综述目的:尚未制定COVID-19大流行期间急性膀胱炎管理的具体指南。本综述旨在提供有关下尿路感染症状患者的治疗和随访的最新信息。近期发现:单纯膀胱炎不需要微生物学证实;因此，可以通过电话访谈或问卷进行临床诊断。当怀疑有复杂感染时，必须亲自评估或密切随访。抗生素治疗仍然是治疗的金标准，尽管非药物策略也被建议和进一步的研究是必要的。总结:尿路感染仍然是就诊的一个常见原因，需要在初级保健和专业水平上加以解决。它们在大流行期间的管理与往年类似，但出现了可以促进诊断和治疗的远程保健选择。

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to help readers understand expert views on current advances in the field of bladder dysfunction by systematically providing review articles that highlight the most important papers recently published. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities in key subject areas across the discipline to select topics reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments, novel research, and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics. We also highlight areas that have not received attention in the past and are important to an international audience, such a voiding dysfunction in reconstructed bladders and voiding dysfunction associated with genitourinary infections. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members also suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
