Document Summary
If its not causing pain, it will most likely resolve itself. Relapse = same agent causes the same infection after 2 weeks of no symptoms. Reinfection = brand new infection - new pathogen or same pathogen after a period of one month. Symptoms: dysuria, frequency, urgency: pain over bladder area. Signs: bloody urine, cloudy urine, bad odour. Same symptoms as cystitis but lower cfu/ml than cystitis. Incidence in women > incidence in men. Incidence in both men and women incase but ratio changes. Prostate enlargement -> poor bladder emptying -> increased uti incidence. Kumar says pee as much and as fast as you can . Produced by out cells - prevent adherence to cell surface. L. acidophilus, staphylococcus epidermidis, streptococci (alpha & non-hemolytic), e. coli diptheriods, yeasts. Increased pseudomonas, proteus, klebsiella, acinetobacter, and enterobacter -> Diphtheroids, mycobacteria (not tuberculosis) and listeria monocytogenes. Bacillus does not cause utis - if found in test means it contaminated sample decreased e. coli.
