Q

dx of a UTI

A

confirm pyuria and bacteriuria

  • pyruria: confirmed by
    • + dipstick test for leukocyte esterase
  • bacteriuria: confirmed by
    • + dipstick test for nitrite (note that s. saphrophyticus does NOT reduce create nitrites)
    • gram stain
    • semiquantitative test

Q

dx of cystitis (acute uncomplicated)

A
  • reliable hx:
    • at least 1 cystitis symptom
    • pt has risk factors for UTI
  • if not reliable hx:
    • pyuria or bacteriuria dipstick tests
      • > 1,000 CFUs/ml

Q

pyelonephritis (acute, uncompicated) dx

A
  • reliable hx
    • physical exam indicative (dysuria + inc frequency/small volume + suprapubic pain + flank pain/costo-verbral tenderness + fever/nausea/vomiting)
  • additional lab tests of hx not reliable:
    • CFUs > 10,000
    • WBC casts
    • Ab-coated bacteria
      • is bacteria makes it to the kidneys, it is more likely to contact the blood being filtered and trigger an immune response- will be attacked with & coated by Ab

Q

Ab coated bacteria in a urine sample are indicative of what UTI manifestation?

why

A

pyelonephritis

if the microbe advances to the kidney, it will interface with blood & thus stimulate an immune response (Abs)

17
Q

dx of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU)

A

CFH > 100,000

  • in women: two specimens needed (same species)
  • in men: single specimen needed
18
Q

how to collect urine if trying to dx cystitis

A

patient will urinate for a few seconds to expel the urine at the distal end o the urethra, then urine will either be collected:

  • midstream
  • pt will stop and then start again, then that urine collected
19
Q

what demographics should and should not be treated for ABU?

A
  • do not treat - elderly
  • do treat -
    • pregnant women
    • GU tract procedure pre-ops
    • renal transplants
20
Q

proteus has what virulence factors?

describe clinical significance

A
  • factors
    • produces urease, which makes urine basic (>8)
    • has fimbrae
21
Q

m/c cause of prostatitis

A
  • acute bacterial prostatitis
    • E. coli
  • chronic bacterial prostatitis
    • E. coli (m/c)
    • enterococcus
22
Q

acute bacterial prostatitis - presentation

A

like cystitis + systemic sx + genital pain + abnormal prostate exam

  • cystitis sx
    • urinary sx
      • hesitancy
      • poor, interrupted stream
      • straining / incomplete emptying
    • suprapubic pain
  • external genital pain - testes/penis
  • systemic - fever / chills, nausea / vomiting
  • prostate - warm, tender, enlarged, boggy
23
Q

chronic bacterial prostatitis presentation

A

sx presence > 3 mos: urinary sx + systemic affects + back pain + genital pain +/- abormal prostate exam

  • urinary sx
    • hesitancy
    • poor, interrupted stream
    • straining / incomplete emptying
  • back pain (low back pain, not flank pain like pyelonephritis)
  • external genital pain - testes / penis
  • systemic sx - low grade fever, arthralgia/myalgia
  • prostate exam
    • normal or tender/boggy
24
Q

contrast the digital exam findings for acute vs chronic bacterial prostatitis

A
  • acute prostatitis
    • warm / enlarged / tender / boggy
  • chronic prostatitis
    • normal, or tender / boggy
25
Q

what sx do acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis share?

A
  • urinary sx - straining / poor, interrupted stream / incomplete emptying
  • external genital pain
  • fever
26
Q

compare / contrast the systemic sx of acute vs bacterial chronic prostatitis

A
  • acute
    • high fever
    • chills
    • emesis / vomiting
  • chronic
    • low grade fever
    • myalgia / arthralgia
27
Q

chronic nonbacterial prostatitis-presentation

A
  • like chronic bacterial prostatitis
    • external genital pain
    • low back pain
    • prostate tender/boggy - 50%
  • unlike chronic bacterial
    • pain along inner aspect of thighs
    • no recurrent UTIs
  • can be either
    • inflammatory (+ leukocytes)
    • non-inflammatory (- leukocytes)
28
Q

explain the PPMT test

  • clinical use?
  • steps?
A
  • use: to differentiate between different types of chronic prostatitis:
    • bacterial vs inflammatory nonbacterial vs non-inflammatory nonbacterial
  • process:
    • initial stream to clear distal urethra urine, then two mid-stream collections
      • VB2: taken after 1st prostate massage
      • VB3: taken after 2nd prostate massage
29
Q

chronic bacterial prostatitis would have what PPMT test result?

A
  • VB2 - negative
  • VB3 - positive
      • for bacterial counts
      • for leukocytes
30
Q

chronic nonbacterial inflammatory prostatitis would have what PPMT results?

A
  • VB2 - negative
  • VB3 - mixed
      • bacterial counts
      • for leukocytes
31
Q

chronic nonbacterial non-inflammatory prostatitis

A
  • VB2 - negative
  • VB3 - negative
      • for bacterial counts
      • for leukocytes
32
Q

how many CFUs are seen in a urine culture for

  • cystitis
  • pyelonephritis
  • ABU
A
  • cystitis - 1,000
  • pyelonephritis - 10,000
  • ABU - 100,000
33
Q

ABU can progress to what UTI manifestation?

describe the clinical significance

A
  • can cause pyelonephritis in pregnant women. this can then lead to
    • premature birth
    • low birth weight
  • pregnant women must have urine sample screen during gestation
    • dx of ABU made by > 100,000 CFUs.
      • if positive: these pts must be treated
