A patient is with back pain and a severe headache is diagnosed with pyuria. Explain this diagnosis and provide a possible explanation for it
What will be an ideal response?
Pyuria is pus (white blood cells and bacteria) in the urine. Pus is an abnormal urinary constituent. A urinary tract infection is a possible cause. Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause symptoms of dysuria (painful urination), urinary urgency and frequency, fever, and sometimes cloudy or blood-tinged urine. When the kidneys are involved, back pain and a severe headache are common. Many types of bacteria may invade the urinary tract to cause urethritis, cystitis, or pyelonephritis.
