Abstract
Urinary tract infection is a frequent disease in elderly women. The lack of estrogen, which characterizes the postmenopause, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this infective disease. Exogenous estrogen replacement, however, is very effective in the prevention of bacteriuria in these women. The safety of oral and vaginal estriol and their efficacy in comparison to antimicrobial prophylaxis should be confirmed in the future.
