What is Urinary Tract Infections Overview about?
Urinary tract infections are caused by the invasion of microorganisms like bacteria anywhere along the urinary system. Escherichia coli is the most common causative bacteria, responsible for around 75-80% of cases. Left untreated, UTIs can cause more serious complications like urosepsis and pyelonephritis which is a bacterial infection of the kidneys that causes intense pain in the lumbar region and fever. Diagnosis involves urinalysis, urine culture and treatment typically involves antibiotics.
