There are several methods for workup of urinary tract infections or UTIs and utilizing the appropriate test(s) on the appropriate patients can allow for prompt and appropriate treatment and symptom relief, as well as reduce unnecessary testing and unnecessary treatment with antimicrobials, explains Dr. Stacy Beal, in this CAPcast. Dr. Beal, a pathologist at UF Health in Gainesville, Florida and member of the CAP's Quality Practices Committee, has helped to develop a new CAP testing module focused on UTIs, which can now be found on CAP.org: https://capatholo.gy/38dpl3L.
