Additional Info
- Contrary to a previous Wiki rule, code this if present even IF NOT BEING TREATED (e.g. as might occur in a palliative situation, or when the bug is resistant to everything).
- But the subtlety here is that it's hard to distinguish whether asymptomatic bacteruria is really an infection or just a colonization, as follows: In a pt with bacteruria without symptoms (asymptomatic bacteruria) clinicians need to make a decision about whether they think an actual infection is present or not. The reasons is that even clean-catch urine is not truly sterile even in the absence of an actual infection. Thus, if left on the counter at room temp for long enough, any urine specimen will grow 107 colonies per mL and thus be flagged as a possible UTI. If the clinician decides that this asymptomatic bacteruria is NOT an infection, then we shouldn't code it as such. This isn't just nomenclature --- in this case it was felt that no UTI was actually present.
