      <MainHeadline>Indikation zur initialen parenteralen Antibiotika-Therapie</MainHeadline><Pgraph>Bei Infektionen der Nieren und des Urogenitaltraktes ist bei Erwachsenen in der Regel eine initiale (empirische) parenterale Antibiotika-Therapie nur bei schweren klinischen Verlaufsformen mit Allgemeinsymptomen, wie &#220;belkeit und Erbrechen, oder bei Verdacht auf Sepsis erforderlich <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>. Im Wesentlichen handelt es sich dabei um schwere Verlaufsformen einer unkomplizierten oder komplizierten bzw. nosokomialen Pyelonephritis, einer akuten Prostatitis, selten einer akuten Epididymitis mit oder ohne Orchitis, einer akuten Salpingitis-Pelvioperitonitis oder um schwere abszedierende Infektionen im Bereich der Nieren und des Urogenitaltraktes. Gelegentlich muss auch eine parenterale Therapie empirisch initiiert werden, wenn in bestimmten klinischen Situationen mit multiresistenten Erregern gerechnet werden muss, f&#252;r die keine oralen Antibiotika zur Verf&#252;gung stehen, und das mikrobiologische Testergebnis nicht abgewartet werden kann, da z.B. eine Operation sofort durchgef&#252;hrt werden muss (z.B. akute Harnsteinobstruktion).</Pgraph></TextBlock>
    <TextBlock language="en" linked="yes" name="Indication for initial parenteral antibiotic treatment">
      <MainHeadline>Indication for initial parenteral antibiotic treatment</MainHeadline><Pgraph>For kidney and genito-urinary tract infections, initial (empirical) parenteral antibiotic treatment is usually only required in severe clinical cases with general symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting or suspected sepsis <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>. These are mainly severe forms of uncomplicated or complicated or nosocomial pyelonephritis, acute prostatitis, rarely acute epididymitis with or without orchitis, acute salpingitis-pelvioperitonitis or severe abscessing infections in the kidney and genito-urinary tracts. Occasionally, parenteral treatment must also be initiated empirically if multidrug-resistant agents for which no oral antibiotics are available must be expected and waiting for microbiological test results is not an option, for example because surgery must be performed immediately (e.g. in acute urinary stone obstruction).</Pgraph></TextBlock>

      <MainHeadline>Allgemeine Kriterien zur Antibiotika-Auswahl</MainHeadline><Pgraph>Die Antibiotika-Auswahl (Tabelle 1 <ImgLink imgNo="1" imgType="table"/>) erfolgt gem&#228;&#223; dem zu erwartenden Erregerspektrum unter Ber&#252;cksichtigung pharmakokinetischer und pharmakodynamischer Gesichtspunkte, wobei zur Therapie von Infektionen des Harntraktes in jedem Fall auf eine ausreichende renale Elimination des Wirkstoffes zu achten ist <TextLink reference="2"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="3"></TextLink>. Zus&#228;tzlich sollten auch die sogenannten Kollateralsch&#228;den von Antibiotika ber&#252;cksichtigt werden, die &#252;ber Nebenwirkungen beim individuellen Patienten hinausgehen und Resistenzentwicklungen bzw. die Selektion resistenter Erreger beg&#252;nstigen (siehe Kapitel 2 <TextLink reference="4"></TextLink>, Abschnitt Kollateralsch&#228;den von Antibiotika). Neben der Antibiotika-Therapie sind auch entsprechende allgemeine, sowie fachspezifische Therapiema&#223;nahmen zu ergreifen, die jedoch nicht Gegenstand dieses Artikels sind <TextLink reference="5"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="7"></TextLink>.</Pgraph></TextBlock>
    <TextBlock language="en" linked="yes" name="General criteria for antibiotic selection">
      <MainHeadline>General criteria for antibiotic selection</MainHeadline><Pgraph>The choice of antibiotics (Table 1 <ImgLink imgNo="1" imgType="table"/>) is made in accordance with the expected pathogen spectrum, taking into account pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects. In any case, ensuring sufficient renal elimination of the drug should be considered for the treatment of infections of the urinary tract <TextLink reference="2"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="3"></TextLink>. In addition, the so-called collateral damage of antibiotics should be considered, which goes beyond the side effects in the individual patient and favors resistance development or the selection of resistant pathogens (see chapter 2 <TextLink reference="4"></TextLink>, paragraph collateral damage of antibiotics). In addition to antibiotic treatment, appropriate general as well as subject-specific therapeutic measures are to be taken but these are not the subject of this article <TextLink reference="5"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="7"></TextLink>.</Pgraph></TextBlock>
    <TextBlock language="de" linked="yes" name="Akute unkomplizierte Pyelonephritis">
      <MainHeadline>Akute unkomplizierte Pyelonephritis</MainHeadline><Pgraph>H&#228;ufigster Erreger ist <Mark2>Escherichia</Mark2> <Mark2>coli</Mark2>, gefolgt von <Mark2>Proteus</Mark2> <Mark2>mirabilis</Mark2> und <Mark2>Klebsiella</Mark2> <Mark2>pneumoniae</Mark2> <TextLink reference="8"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="9"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="10"></TextLink>. Seltener werden andere Enterobacteriaceae im Harn nachgewiesen. Gr&#246;&#223;ere epidemiologische Studien zur Erregerempfindlichkeit fehlen. Ersatzweise k&#246;nnen daf&#252;r Studien bei unkomplizierter Zystitis herangezogen werden, da mit einem etwa gleichen Erregerspektrum, jedoch weniger h&#228;ufig <Mark2>Staphylococcus</Mark2> <Mark2>saprophyticus</Mark2>, und einer etwa gleichen Resistenzsituation gerechnet werden kann <TextLink reference="11"></TextLink>. Eine rechtzeitig eingeleitete wirksame Therapie kann m&#246;glicherweise einen Nierenparenchymschaden vermeiden. Eine initiale (empirische) parenterale Therapie mit einem Cephalosporin der Gruppe 3a, einem Aminopenicillin&#47;Beta-Lactamase-Inhibitor (BLI), einem Aminoglykosid (aufgrund des Nebenwirkungsrisikos nicht zur ersten Wahl; immer in Kombination mit anderen Antibiotika) ist immer dann indiziert, wenn schwere Allgemeinsymptome mit &#220;belkeit und Erbrechen vorliegen <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="16"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>. Fluorchinolone mit hoher renaler Ausscheidung, z.B. Ciprofloxacin oder Levofloxacin, k&#246;nnen verabreicht werden, wenn eine Fluorchinolon-Resistenz nicht wahrscheinlich ist. Nach Besserung dieser Symptome sollte die parenterale Therapie so bald wie m&#246;glich in eine orale, testgerechte Therapie umgewandelt werden. Dazu eignet sich ein orales Fluorchinolon, z.B. Ciprofloxacin oder Levofloxacin, ein orales Cephalosporin der Grupp<TextGroup><PlainText>e 3</PlainText></TextGroup> (Cefpodoxim), ein Aminopenicillin in Kombination mit einem BLI oder Cotrimoxazol bzw. Trimethoprim, jedoch nur dann wenn der Erreger als empfindlich getestet wurde <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="19"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="20"></TextLink>. Die Dauer der Therapie orientiert sich am klinischen Verlauf, meist sind 7 Tage ausreichend <TextLink reference="21"></TextLink>. </Pgraph></TextBlock>
    <TextBlock language="en" linked="yes" name="Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis">
      <MainHeadline>Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis</MainHeadline><Pgraph>The most common pathogen is <Mark2>Escherichia</Mark2> <Mark2>coli</Mark2>, followed by <Mark2>Proteus</Mark2> <Mark2>mirabilis</Mark2> and <Mark2>Klebsiella</Mark2> <Mark2>pneumoniae</Mark2> <TextLink reference="8"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="9"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="10"></TextLink>. Rarely, other Enterobacteriaceae are detected in the urine. Larger epidemiological studies on pathogen sensitivity are missing. However, studies on uncomplicated cystitis can be used because it has approximately the same pathogen spectrum although <Mark2>Staphylococcus</Mark2> <Mark2>saprophyticus</Mark2> occurs less frequently and the resistance situation is roughly the same <TextLink reference="11"></TextLink>. Renal parenchymal damage may possibly be prevented by initiating effective treatment in time. Initial (empirical) parenteral treatment with a group 3a cephalosporin, an aminopenicillin&#47;beta-lactamase inhibitor (BLI), an aminoglycoside (not a first choice due to the risk of side effects, always in combination with other antibiotics) is indicated whenever severe general symptoms with nausea and vomiting are present <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="16"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>. Fluoroquinolones with high renal excretion, such as ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin may be given if fluoroquinolone resistance is unlikely. After the symptoms improve, oral treatment should replace parenteral treatment in line with the test results as soon as possible. This should be a suitable oral fluoroquinolone, for example ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin, an oral cephalosporin of group 3 (cefpodoxime), an aminopenicillin in combination with a BLI or cotrimoxazole or trimethoprim; but only if the pathogen has been tested as sensitive <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="19"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="20"></TextLink>. The duration of treatment is based on the clinical progression, usually 7 days are sufficient <TextLink reference="21"></TextLink>. </Pgraph></TextBlock>

CRP und Procalcitonin k&#246;nnen als Biomarker f&#252;r die Entscheidung mit verwendet werden <TextLink reference="26"></TextLink>. Die Antibiotika-Therapie einer komplizierten HWI kann immer nur dann kurativ sein, wenn die komplizierenden bzw. ausl&#246;senden Faktoren beseitigt oder verbessert werden <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><SubHeadline>Erregerspektrum</SubHeadline><Pgraph>Das zu erwartende Erregerspektrum ist im Allgemeinen wesentlich breiter als bei unkomplizierten HWI und h&#228;ngt auch damit zusammen, unter welchen Umst&#228;nden eine komplizierte HWI erworben wurde <TextLink reference="22"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="23"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="27"></TextLink>. So ist z.B. das Erregerspektrum bei einer ambulant erworbenen erstmaligen komplizierten HWI, z.B. infolge akutem Calciumoxalat-Harnsteinleiden bei einem Patienten, bei dem keine Antibiotika-Vorbehandlung und keine Harnableitung vorliegen, relativ &#228;hnlich dem Spektrum einer unkomplizierten akuten Pyelonephritis <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>. Dagegen muss bei nosokomial erworbenen komplizierten HWI auch mit Erregern gerechnet werden, die gew&#246;hnlich nicht Erreger von prim&#228;ren Harnwegsinfektionen sind, sondern meist erst sekund&#228;r als Folge einer Selektion oder Kolonisation in Erscheinung treten, wie z.B. <Mark2>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</Mark2> oder andere Enterobacteriaceae als <Mark2>Escherichia coli</Mark2> <TextLink reference="23"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="27"></TextLink>. Bei Verdacht auf eine komplizierte HWI ist grunds&#228;tzlich eine Urinkultur vor Einleitung der Antibiotika-Therapie indiziert, da wegen des breiteren Erregerspektrums und der nicht immer vorhersehbaren Resistenzsituation immer die M&#246;glichkeit der Therapieanpassung an das mikrobiologische Testergebnis gegeben sein muss <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><SubHeadline>Antibiotika-Auswahl</SubHeadline><Pgraph>Die empirische Antibiotika-Initialtherapie muss unter Ber&#252;cksichtigung der regionalen Resistenzsituation des zu erwartenden Erregerspektrums erfolgen <TextLink reference="23"></TextLink>.

Since no single antibiotic is effective against the full spectrum of possible pathogens, no consensus on the treatment of choice has yet been found, especially as a variety of studies with combinations of different substance groups have shown positive results. Unequivocal evaluation of parenteral and oral treatment regimes as well as comparisons of out-patient and in-patient treatment has not been carried out to date, so choosing a treatment must be made on a case-by-case basis according to the severity of the disease, patient acceptance and regional resistance of potential pathogens. After clinical improvement, initial parenteral therapy can be switched to oral sequential therapy with one of the combination partners, usually doxycycline, clindamycin or even a fluoroquinolone <TextLink reference="62"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="69"></TextLink>. Cephalosporins should be combined primarily with metronidazole to cover anaerobes. Alternatively, fluoroquinolones or aminopenicillins&#47;BLI can be used.

Progress monitoring is always required within 72 hours, even in cases of seemingly uncomplicated infections <TextLink reference="62"></TextLink>.
