AB In  2010,  urinary  tract  infection  (UTI)  was  the  sixth  most  common  diagnosis  in  women  age  15  to  64  years  and  the  fourth  most  common  diagnosis  in  women  age  65  years  and  older  presenting  to  the  ED.1  The  self-reported  annual  incidence  of  UTI  in  women  is  12%,  and  by  the  age  of  32  years,  half  of  all  women  report  having  had  at  least  one  UTI.  Although  younger  women  are  more  likely  to  be  affected  than  men  by  a  ratio  of  35:1,  the  gender  gap  decreases  to  2:1  by  age  66,  most  likely  due  to  prostatic  hypertrophy  and  need  for  instrumentation  in  elderly  men.2  All  age  groups  from  neonates  to  the  elderly  are  affected,  carrying  risks  in  special  populations.  3  (See  chapters  132,  "Urinary  Tract  Infection  in  Infants  and  Children"  and  99,  "Comorbid  Diseases  in  Pregnancy").
