Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to explore the kinetics of biomarkers in 30 adult female patients with uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will measure c-reactive protein, procalcitonin, pyuria and a new blood biomarker (Signature TM) everyday till normalization of these markers in 30 adult female patients with uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis.
