Few patients had more than one episode of UTI and there by the total number of UTI episodes were 52.Out of the 58 episodes of UTI, Lower tract UTI and Upper tract UTIs were 13 and 45 episodes. Among the total 45 episodes of upper UTI, 17 were Acute Pyelonephritis and 28 were Cyst infections. 40 % of UTI episodes necessitated Hospitalization.
