Overview
Acute uncomplicated typical cystitis is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation. Patients with classic symptoms including dysuria, frequency, urgency, and/or suprapubic pain may not need any diagnostic studies. Patients with atypical symptoms might require urinalysis and urine culture to confirm cystitis.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Acute uncomplicated typical cystitis is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation. Patients with classic symptoms including dysuria, frequency, urgency, and/or suprapubic pain may not need any diagnostic studies.
- Patients with atypical symptoms might require urinalysis and urine culture to confirm cystitis.[1]
Urinalysis
- Presence of nitrites or leukocyte esterase on dipstick or presence of WBCs of bacteria on microscopic examination suggests the presence of a urinary tract infection.
Urine Culture
- Urine culture is done to identify the particular pathogen, so that the specific treatment can be given.
