Question
A 21-year-old woman is staying the night at her boyfriend's apartment. They have had a relaxing
evening and are getting ready for bed. The woman goes to the restroom and empties her bladder. She
feels some mild burning upon urination but decides that it is probably from wearing her swimming suit
all day the previous day. Throughout the night, she develops feelings of frequency and urgency. The next
day, she visits the health clinic at the university and waits to be seen. She voids into a sterile cup, and a
dipstick urinalysis is performed. Based on her initial symptoms, she is diagnosed with cystitis. The
remainder of the urine is sent for microscopic examination and culture. The woman is prescribed a
single dose of a broad-spectrum antibiotic and is encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. Analgesics may
help alleviate any discomfort she may have. Instructed to call the clinic in 3 days for the culture report,
she is scheduled for a follow-up visit and a repeat urinalysis in 1 week.
Acute cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder and is the most common site of UTIS. A UTI is an
inflammation of the urinary epithelium most usually caused by:
