Don't Advise Screening for UTIs in Most Patients Without Symptoms

June 2019

You'll notice more focus on avoiding antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria...due to updated guidelines from the Infect Dis Soc of Am.

This is a common finding...especially in patients with a catheter, with a spinal cord injury, or who live in a long-term care facility.
