MEQ
  • An 80 year-old man attends his General
    Practitioner complaining of passing urine very
    frequently. His symptoms started about 5 years
    ago and have gradually worsened, so that for the
    last 12 months he has been passing urine hourly
    but never felt like his bladder was properly
    empty. During the last 2 days, he noticed some
    blood in his urine and felt hot and sweaty. This
    prompted him to seek medical advice. His GP
    diagnoses a lower urinary tract infection.
  • 1. From the patients history, what condition
    may have predisposed to the development of this

    2-day history of urinary frequency and dysuria.
    Her last menstrual period was six weeks
    previously. She reports that she experienced
    facial swelling and wheezing when she was given
    either penicillins or cephalosporins as a
    teenager. Microscopy of her urine shows numerous

    has had repeated hospital admissions over the
    preceding year for an unrelated condition, and is
    known to carry MRSA in his nose. On taking a
    history, he describes recent onset urinary
    frequency, nocturia and loin pain. An MSU is
    sent to the laboratory. Microscopy shows
    numerous white blood cells and a culture yields
    gt105 /ml of Staphylococcus aureus. This morning

    sample is sent from a 75-year-old man with a
    long-standing indwelling urinary catheter,
    because it looks cloudy and contains protein on
    dipstick. The patient is otherwise well. The
    culture yields gt105 /ml of a Pseudomonas
