| 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.
