A single oral dose of an antimicrobial agent is as effective as a conventional 3-day course for the treatment of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections. A case history of a young woman with recurrent cystitis is presented to demonstrate this approach to the management of a common clinical problem. The place of antimicrobial prophylaxis is also discussed.
