Modern science has shown that the widely held beliefs of clinicians
about urinary tract infection (UTI) are wrong. A large body of
meticulous, rigorous data, from different centres around the world
makes this point. How can it be that doctors continue to practise
in contradiction of what we now know? A few clinicians are now
changing their approach with gratifying results so it is timely to
encourage others to do likewise. Clinical guidelines have achieved
such influence that most doctors feel compelled to follow them and
may face censure if they do not. Regrettably the guidelines are
mistaken and contradict the known science. The inertia of
bureaucracy and the fear of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) do not
help to encourage reflection. However, things are changing and the
future should see new and better informed advice. It is a tragedy
that these circumstances are leading to widespread suffering
amongst many women, some men and children who experience untreated
or inadequately treated infection that may plague them for years.
This situation has to change. This book sets out the truth about
this neglected field and explains the many errors that haunt the
topic. The style makes the message accessible to all clinicians.
The story is convincing, because the clinical stories that
illustrate the text will be so familiar to practising clinicians,
who have been baffled by their experiences. Above all, this book
will help you and your patients by detailing an accessible,
practical approach to resolving this difficult clinical problem in
common practice. The scope of the book will cover: the history of
the medicine of urinary tract infection (UTI); the urinary
microbiome and what the microbes are really up to; the battles
between the pathogens and the innate immune system; the truth about
the tests and the criteria used to define UTI; antimicrobial
resistance and the importance of Darwinian evolution; the science
and ground-breaking research on UTIs; the use of antibiotics;
successful treatment; supportive and other related treatments;
ethics; the future; and, above all, the experiences of the
patients.
