Genitourinary tract Disorders
Urinary tract infection
Urinary tract infection is a clinical condition that may involve the urethra and bladder and the ureters, renal pelvis, calyces, and renal parenchyma. Because it is often impossible to localize the infection, the broad designation UTI is applied to the presence of significant number of microorganisms anywhere within the urinary tract (except the distal third of the urethra, which is usually colonized with bacteria).
