Chapter 91: Urinary Tract Infection and Hematuria Flashcards
asymptomatic bacteriuria
- The presence of >100,000 (>10x5) colony-forming units (CFU)/mL of a single pathogen on two successive clean-catch urine cultures in a woman without symptoms.
- The presence of >100,000 (>10x5) CFU/mL on one clean-catch urine culture in asymptomatic men.
- The presence of 100 CFU/mL of a single isolate in a catheterized urine specimen in a patient without symptoms.
prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in patient with indwelling catheter for more than a month

T or F:
The traditional diagnostic criterion dating from 1960 of uncomplicated UTI had been a positive urine culture of 105 CFU/mL; however, in symptomatic patients, low-colony-count infections with ≥102 to 103 CFU/mL are clinically valid
True
T or F:
recurrent infection alone is a criterion for complicated UTI.
False
recurrent infection alone is not a criterion for complicated UTI.
complicated UTI diagnostic criteria in terms of urine culture
isolation of 105 CFU/mL of urine culture
this refers to the clinical syndrome of fever and flank pain or tenderness with or without vomiting in a woman with an anatomically normal urinary tract without comorbidities

2 categories of recurrent UTI
relapse
reinfection
category of recurrent UTI that happen within 2 weeks of treatment completion caused by the same organism from a focus within the urinary system
relapse recurrent UTI
category of recurrent UTI that caused by a different bacterial isolate or by previously isolated bacteria after a negative intervening culture or a period of >2 weeks between infections
reinfection recurrent UTI (more common than relapse)
