Acute pyelonephritis is the most serious form of urinary tract infection. If it is not treated appropriately, life-threatening complications can occur. How can it be distinguished from acute cystitis? When can a patient be treated outside the hospital? Which antibiotics should be given and for how long? The authors address these and other questions of concern to primary care physicians in this review of the diagnosis, treatment, and potential complications of acute pyelonephritis.
