Urosepsis is common. We see it all the time-especially in people with suprapubic catheters and long term indwelling Foley catheters. Numerous times, I have obtained urine specimens from these people and the urine was white and chunky. It was literally, a bladder full of pus. It works its way up into the kidneys and enters the blood stream from there. It’s pretty common actually.
UTI is also a quick way to have someone admitted following insurance/medicare rules....
people come in for "dizziness" and get admitted for UTI....
