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]

Prevention

Patients without urinary catheterization

Patients with urinary catheterization

Various interventions may reduced urinary tract infection.[9][10]
