Among young, sexually active women, the prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI) is five per cent, which is 30-50 times higher than among men. The incidence increases with age, and the female: male ratio declines. UTI account for 40 per cent of nosocomial infections. Single dose treatment is to be highly recommended in acute, uncomplicated cases of UTI in adult women, the advantages being satisfactory effect, fewer side effects, reduced development of resistance, and substantial reduction in antibiotic consumption.
在年轻、有性生活的女性中，尿路感染（UTI）的患病率为5%，这比男性高出30至50倍。发病率随年龄增长而增加，且女性与男性的比例下降。尿路感染占医院感染的40%。对于成年女性急性、非复杂性尿路感染病例，强烈推荐单剂量治疗，其优点包括效果令人满意、副作用更少、耐药性发展降低以及抗生素消耗量大幅减少。
