Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. These are the structures that urine passes through before being eliminated from the body. Symptoms include frequent feeling and/or need to urinate, pain during urination, and cloudy urine. The most common type of UTI is acute cystitis often referred to as bladder infection. An infection of the upper urinary tract or kidney is known as pyelonephritis, and is potentially more serious. Although they cause discomfort, UTI can usually be easily treated with a short course of antibiotics with no significant difference between the classes of antibiotics commonly used.
