Case 1


Question 1


In this case, the patient likely suffers from a urinary tract infection (UTI). According to

Czajkowski et al. (2021), urinary tract infection is a common health problem among women.

According to the author, UTI can result from a myriad of microorganisms. However, the leading

cause of UTI is Escherichia coli, accounting for about 75% of all UTI cases. E. coli is naturally

occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the bacteria often diverted from the GIT to the

urinary tract, where it grows and causes infections. This infection is more common among

women than men, especially women of reproductive age. The higher prevalence of UTI among

women than men is associated with biological and anatomical differences, which makes it easier

for E. coli to diver from the gastrointestinal tract to the urinary system. UTL also occur among

premenopausal and those who recently went through menopause. The myriad of hormonal

changes during this phase increases women's risk of UTI (Kwok et al., 2022). The mode of

transmission of UTI can be either through sex with an infected person or through direct

migration of the bacteria from GIT to the urinary system. In this case, the patient is

premenopausal and has two significant risk factors for UTL. Her presenting symptoms are also

indicating possible UTI infections.


question2


Diagnosis of UTI can be made primarily by assessing the presenting symptoms such as

dysuria, increased urgency and frequency of urination. However, other laboratory tests can be

used to diagnose UTI. Such tests, including dipstick, can be used to diagnose urinary tract
