| Abstract: | Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent and an important topic for the urogynecologist. In this article, we review important definitions, the pathophysiology, and identifiable risk factors for UTI. In addition, the evaluation and management of UTIs is summarized. Finally, attention is focused on UTIs in special populations, including pregnant, hospitalized, and postoperative patients. The latest recommendations from the urologic, infectious disease, gynecologic, and systematic review literature are discussed. |
