SIRS criteria
presents with dysuria, low back pain, perineal pain or ejaculatory pain with fever, chills, and myalgias. Patients often have associated urinary symptoms including frequency, urgency, or obstruction.
Acute prostatitis
an infection of the prostate gland that occurs from an ascending urethral infection or through reflux of infected urine into the prostate through the ejaculatory or prostatic ducts.
Acute prostatitis
Acute prostatitis Frequent pathogens include
gram-negative coliform bacteria, E coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, enterococci, and Pseudomonas.
Sexually transmitted bacteria, such as Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, may also be the cause
low back pain, dysuria, and perineal pain, the disease may also present with nonspecific symptoms such as myalgias, malaise, or nausea and vomiting. Patients may also present with obstructive symptoms, such as, hesitancy, incomplete voiding, and weak stream.
Acute prostatitis
On physical exam, the prostate gland may be tender, warm, swollen, or firm.
Acute prostatitis
No rectal exam or prostate exam- can worsen infection
in acute prostatitis Urinalysis will show
consistent with cystitis (eg, leukocyte esterase, nitrites, or white blood cells)
May also be normal
presents with dysuria or suprapubic pain or both. Often, there is associated urinary frequency, urgency, or hematuria. There is usually no penile or vaginal discharge, CVA tenderness, nausea, vomiting, or fever.
Cystitis
cystitis
Most common bacterial pathogens include
Gram negatives: Escherichia coli (75–95%), Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis
Gram positives: Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, and group B streptococcus
Risk factors for cystitis
Sexual intercourse
Use of spermicides
Previous UTI

Cystitis in the elderly
Delirium, functional decline, or acute confusion may be the presenting symptoms of cystitis in elderly patients.
urinalysis findings suggestive of cystitis
Leukocyte esterase is an enzyme released by leukocytes and signifies pyuria. LR+ 12.3–48
The presence of nitrites indicates the presence of bacteria that convert urinary nitrates to nitrites.
White blood cells on urine microscopy (> 5 per high powered field)
Hematuria demonstrated by positive blood on dipstick or red blood cells (RBCs) on microscopy
Table 16-2 shows the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios of urinalysis and microscopy findings.
The negative likelihood ratio of leukocyte esterase and urine nitrite is only 0.3; the absence of these findings does not rule out cystitis.
Symptomatic premenopausal women should be or should not be treated despite negative midstream urine cultures.
should be
The diagnosis of cystitis should or should not be ruled out by a urinalysis that is negative for both leukocyte esterase and nitrites in the presence of a convincing clinical presentation.
should not be
typically presents with dysuria and flank or back pain, fever, chills, malaise, nausea and vomiting.

Urethritis
Urethritis and cervicitis are usually due to
STI
usually

N gonorrhoeae and C trachomatis.

In a man with dysuria,_____ is often warranted.
In a man with dysuria, STI testing is often warranted.
Cervicitis can be diagnosed by
identifying mucopurulent endocervical discharge on pelvic exam. Sustained cervical bleeding caused by gentle passage of a swab in the cervical os may also be seen.
presents with fever, chills, hypotension, and lethargy or altered mental status. Symptoms of the underlying infection, such as dysuria or flank pain, are often present.
Urosepsis
presents with abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, irritation, itching, dysuria, or dyspareunia.
Vaginitis
Common infectious causes of vaginitis are
bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis.
Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the normal flora of the vagina is replaced with
anaerobic bacteria most commonly, Gardnerella vaginalis.
Trichomoniasis is an STI caused by the
flagellated protozoan, Trichomonas vaginalis. It can also infect men, causing urethritis or silent infection.
Often occurs with changes in the vaginal environment such as high estrogen states (menses, pregnancy), antibiotic use, immunosuppression, or poorly controlled diabetes.
