The Infectious Disease Society of America in 2023 recommended a single dose of an aminoglycoside for uncomplicated cystitis treatment in those with resistance or other contraindications to first line oral agents who were otherwise well enough to be discharged. This very small study (13 participants) suggest this strategy works for complicated (“male sex, urinary flow obstruction, renal failure or transplantation, urinary retention, or indwelling catheters”) cystitis patients who could otherwise be discharged home.
