Patients  Acute pyelonephritis 
Patients  Urinary tract infection, site notspecified 
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent
Modification(s)  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  14 days antibacterial treatment  In the comparator arm, patients admitted with acute pyelonephritis are given a total of 14 days of sensitive antibiotic/antibiotics 
Intervention  7 days antibacterial treatment  In the intervention arm, patients admitted with acute pyelonephritis are given a total of 7 days of sensitive antibiotic/antibiotics. The choice of the antibiotic/antibiotics is made by the treating physician either as empirical therapy or later modified as culture guided therapy

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The hypothesis of the study is that antibacterial treatment with sensitive antibacterial/antibacterials for 7 days is non-inferior to treatment for 14 days in patients with non-severe acute pyelonephritis. If this is proven, then the duration of hospitalization, side effects of antibiotics as well as development of antibiotic resistance can be reduced.
