Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are generally assumed to be benign. Such infection in otherwise healthy patients is often asymptomatic and is likely to resolve spontaneously with the removal of the catheter. Symptoms that may occur include dysuria, urinary frequency, incontinence of recent onset, flank pain, and fever. Confusion and delirium are often attributed to UTI, although without high fever or sepsis. |
