INTEGRATED APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS

Abstract

The world is facing a crisis of antibiotic resistance, which impacts every treating physician on the planet. Alarms have been ringing about bacterial infection fatality resurgence, the end of the antibiotic era, a calamity in progress. Ozone therapy has been used in medicine since World War I. Basic science, both in vivo and in vitro, research has found it to have several effects including modulating the immune system, enhancing circulation, destroying microorganisms including bacteria and viruses, and enhancing oxygen delivery and consumption by the body. The kidneys can be infected with many types of microorganisms. Treating infections that infect the excretory system is challenging in clinical practice. Ozone therapy has proven to be one of the strongest antiseptics against most microorganisms that cause such infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbicide effect of ozone therapy, as well as to determine the clinical efficacy of ozone therapy in pregnant women with urinary tract infections.
