Oral antbiotcs may be prescribed in mild cases of acute pyelonephrits, characterized by the absence of
nausea and vomitng or signs of sepsis. First-line therapy includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500 mg two tmes
daily for 7 days, or ciprofloxacin extended-release (Cipro XR) 1,000 mg daily for 7 days, or levofloxacin
(Levaquin) 750 mg daily for 5 days.
Hospitalizaton may be indicated, depending on the patent's ability to maintain adequate fluid intake
and to tolerate oral antbiotcs, along with the severity of the symptoms and evidence of bacteremia.
Hospitalizaton of patents who are pregnant, vomitng, or dehydrated should be strongly considered.
Likewise, the patent's degree of systemic illness (bacteremia or urosepsis), age, history of chronic
disease, or nonadherence to therapy may lead to the assessment that hospitalizaton is necessary.
Ninety- fve percent of patents demonstrate a good response within 48 hours to IV antbiotc treatment
and may be discharged on appropriate oral medicaton, once urine culture and antbiotc sensitvity
results are available and subsequent antmicrobial therapy may be narrowed in spectrum.
