Urinary tract infections encompass a spectrum of clinical and pathologic conditions involving various parts of the urinary tract. Each syndrome has its own unique epidemiology, natural history, and clinical manifestations. Basic terminology used in describing urinary tract infections is defined in this article. A classification of these infections and their clinical features is presented.
