چکیده
Diagnosing UTIs is done through a combination of clinical history, examination, and laboratory tests. Infants and the elderly may present with no symptoms at all. Other patients might complain of fever, chills, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain in the abdomen or back, dysuria, hematuria, incontinence, decreased urine output or the inability to urinate, and/or altered mental status/confusion. Physical examination findings can include pain anywhere in the abdomen, pelvis, or lower back.1
