ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease, and administration of antibiotics should be the first choice for UTI. However, it often recurs, and recurrent UTI is generally treated with antibiotics. Many reports describe the use of choreito for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms and ureteral stones, but only a few reports are dedicated to the treatment of recurrent UTI with choreito. An 84-year-old woman had a UTI that recurred 4 times, and every time she was hospitalized. Although we treated her condition with an antibiotic and α 1-blocker for neurogenic bladder, and provided her home-care advice, her UTI recurred 4 times. Thus, we gave her choreito, which successfully treated her recurrent UTI. Before the treatment, she was hospitalized 4 times within 2 months. However, in the recent 7 months after the treatment with choreito, she did not need to be hospitalized. She is currently visiting a hospital once every 2 months. The present case indicates that choreito is beneficial in terms of health economics.
