Description
Mohamed Wishahi and Mohamed Badawy write a 2026 letter to the editor on the 2025 European guidelines for urinary infections. They respond to a study by Yadav and others that built a prediction nomogram from patient factors beyond the urine sample itself.
The new European Association of Urology scheme sorts infections as localised or systemic by symptoms and signs, replacing the older split between uncomplicated and complicated infection. Care follows that clinical setup rather than culture results alone, with localised cases managed as outpatients. The writers stress that symptoms, examination, labs and imaging all feed diagnosis, and that antibiotic effects on gut and urinary microbes deserve weight in treatment choice.
