Examiner – I will send them off.

Me- I am going to talk to my patient now.

Me- Well, Mrs X, you are getting infection in your kidney and bladder which we call pyelonephritis in medical terms. Do you want me to explain with picture? RP says YES. Examiner says NO, carry on!

It is a very common infection in females cos the front wee passage of females are shorter than males and it give very easy access of bugs from your back passage.

It is very treatable condition. But, you need hospital admission because you need treatment with intravenous antibiotics and fluids for few days. When you get better, you will be discharged on oral medications.
We will repeat the urine sample 2 weeks later.

Examiner- What additional test will you do on reaching the hospital ?
Me- USG abdomen and pelvis

Me- When you are discharged from hospital, I am very happy to follow you up and will advise you some simple measures to prevent urinary tract infections.

Bell rang.
