| Case
1: |
|
A
24-year-old woman comes to the clinic to discuss
recent laboratory results. A
month ago, a close friend was admitted to a local hospital
with a severe urinary infection
that “got into her bloodstream.” Your patient
was very concerned about this and
went to a local walk-in clinic asking to be screened
for a urinary tract infection. She
recently received the results in the mail and comes
to the clinic to review them with
you. She is asymptomatic and has no past medical history.
She is married and has a
3-year-old boy. Her physical exam is unremarkable.
A urinalysis showed 1+ leukocyte
esterase; a urine culture revealed >100000 CFU of
Escherichia coli.
