The Stockholm Spinal Cord Uro Study: 2. Urinary tract infections in a regional prevalence group: frequency, symptoms and treatment strategies.

Conclusions: Risk profiles for recurring and severe UTIs were catheter-assisted voiding, cervical or thoracic levels and more complete neurological lesions and the co-existence of other SCI-related complications. There is a need for an increased understanding of the special symptoms of UTI in this patient group and a strategy to avoid unspecific antibiotic treatment.
