In medicine, urinary tract infections are "inflammatory responses of the epithelium of the urinary tract to microbial invasions. They are often bacterial infections with associated bacteriuria and pyuria."[1]
Classification
More common types of urinary tract infections in include:
Cause
Males
In males, urinary tract infections are usually secondary to an underlying cause such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or genitourinary instrumentation.[2] However, a single episode is unlikely to be due to a serious underlying cause.[3]
Diagnosis
The best symptoms and physical examination findings for diagnosis have been identified in a systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination in 2002.[4]
Regarding symptoms, a subsequent study and clinical prediction rule found the best findings are urine cloudiness, offensive smell, moderately severe dysuria, moderately severe nocturia.[5]
A subsequent study and clinical prediction rule showed the best predictors were urinary nitrite, leucocyte esterase and blood[5] ; however, these tests may not be very accurate[6].
Urinary tract infections may be overdiagnosed in geriatric patients.[7]
Various testing strategies have been compared.[8]
Treatment
Clinical practice guidelines are available"[9]
- Nitrofurantion 100 mg twice daily for 5 days is recommended and may be cost effective when:[10]
- TMP-SMX resistance is > 17%
- Quinolone resistance is > 12%
Prevention
Cranberry juice probably does not help.[11]
Patients without urinary catheterization
Patients with urinary catheterization
Various interventions may reduce urinary tract infection.[12][13]
