Criteria of the diagnosis for uncomplicated UTI
dysuria, nausea and/or vomiting, tachycardia
ACUTE CYSTITIS, ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS
Patient charts were selected for non-pregnant females,14–65 years of age, and without a known structural or urological abnormality or a known immunosuppressive illness. They were considered by the study team to have acute cystitis if they presented with dysuria or frequency or urgency without vaginal discharge or irritation. Consequently, they were diagnosed as acute pyelonephritis if they had any of these aforementioned symptoms consistent with acute cystitis, and additional symptoms of nausea and/or vomiting with tachycardia and costovertebral angle tenderness.
