Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
A catheter-associated urinary tract infection is an infection that develops in people who have a urinary catheter in place, since the device makes it easier for microorganisms to enter and remain in the urinary tract.
Contributing factors: prolonged time with the catheter, handling of the device, and the person's general state of health.
Common symptoms: fever, discomfort in the lower abdomen, changes in the appearance or smell of the urine and, at times, general malaise.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist, the infectious disease specialist, and the internist evaluate this type of infection, which is common in the hospital setting. If symptoms appear in someone with a catheter in place, the right thing to do is to notify the medical team immediately for a timely checkup.
