Abstract
Objective:
To define the terms of use of pesticides, antifungal, antiviral and antiseptic treatments in urology.
Materials and methods:
A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE for all these treatments used in urology. The molecules were classified by family. Modes of action, indications in urology and adverse effects have been detailed. Authorisation files were consulted and then complemented by a literature analysis.
Results:
Although parasitic or viral diseases are uncommon in urology, their specific treatment deserves a thorough knowledge of pesticide and antiviral molecules. Antifungal treatments are regularly used in urology with special features to know to improve the efficacy/safety ratio. Antiseptics are used daily in urology and a better understanding of these molecules allows better use.
Conclusion:
Beyond antibiotics, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal deserve a thorough knowledge. Antiseptic although used daily have features little known.
Keywords:
Antifongiques; Antifungal; Antiparasitaires; Antiparasite treatments; Antiseptic; Antiseptiques; Antiviraux; Antivirus treatment.
