CKS is no longer commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE remains committed to providing a replacement service for CKS and is currently reviewing its options. In the meantime, although CKS content is now not being maintained, it still remains relevant and will continue to be made available. CKS content was generated under a programme of topic creation and update. To check if the topic you are viewing is current or out of date, please refer to the topic publication details by clicking on the 'How up-to-date is this topic?' link in the left hand menu on individual topic pages.
Urinary tract infection (lower) - men - Evidence
Supporting evidence
Because lower urinary tract infection (UTI) is uncommon in men, it has been little studied. CKS found no relevant clinical trials to provide evidence on issues such as the use of urine dipstick tests, treatment of symptoms, and the management of UTI in the presence of an indwelling urinary catheter.
The evidence on antibiotic resistance is reviewed in the section on Antibiotic resistance in the CKS topic on Urinary tract infection (lower) - women.
