This course will review the new AUA guideline on recurrent UTIs in the index female patient. The guidelines encompass rUTI diagnosis, treatment, antibiotic and other methods of prophylaxis. The evidence supporting the guidelines will be presented in a case-based fashion. A treatment algorithm which includes the most current and safe antibiotic regimens will be provided.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of the evidence and rationale behind the 2019 recurrent UTI guidelines. 2. Formulate a treatment algorithm for recurrent UTIs in women. 3. Define the concept of antibiotic stewardship, treating patients with the safest methods possible, thereby avoiding collateral damage. 4. Recognize the importance of shared decision making in recurrent UTI management.
