Although the majority of UTIs can be treated with a single course of oral antibiotics, in severe infections they can become very serious and may require admission into hospital for intravenous antibiotics, particularly in elderly patients. Urosepsis is a term which describes a severe infection in the bloodstream arising from the urinary tract and needs early and prompt treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
