Hospitalization
Oral antibiotics may be prescribed in mild cases of acute pyelonephritis, characterized by the absence of
nausea and vomiting or signs of sepsis. First-line therapy includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500 mg two times
daily for 7 days, or ciprofloxacin extended-release (Cipro XR) 1,000 mg daily for 7 days, or levofloxacin
(Levaquin) 750 mg daily for 5 days.
Hospitalization may be indicated, depending on the patient's ability to maintain adequate fluid intake
and to tolerate oral antibiotics, along with the severity of the symptoms and evidence of bacteremia.
Hospitalization of patients who are pregnant, vomiting, or dehydrated should be strongly considered.
Likewise, the patient's degree of systemic illness (bacteremia or urosepsis), age, history of chronic
disease, or nonadherence to therapy may lead to the assessment that hospitalization is necessary.
Ninety- five percent of patients demonstrate a good response within 48 hours to IV antibiotic treatment
