urinary tract infection in a patient with cervical cancer Open Access

Abstract

Infections caused by species are commonly associated with contact with dogs and cats, typically involving bites and scratches, but casual contact with household pets can also be a risk factor. Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by species is rare and a significant majority of cases have some known risk factor associated with an underlying chronic illness or structural and/or functional urological abnormality.

Here, we present a case of a UTI due to in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who also had a household cat.

Providers and laboratorians should be aware of risk factors associated with UTIs caused by species.
