AB Urinary  tract  infections  (UTIs)  account  for  up  to  3%  of  emergency  department  visits.  Urethritis  and  cystitis  are  infections  of  the  lower  urinary  tract.  Pyelonephritis  is  an  infection  of  the  upper  urinary  tract.  Up  to  80%  of  UTIs  are  caused  by  Escherichia  coli.  The  rest  are  caused  by  Staphylococcus  saprophyticus,  Klebsiella,  Proteus,  Enterobacter,  Pseudomonas,  and  Chlamydia  trachomatis.
