Coul uti cause temporary cognitive problem (i.e brain fog) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it often does!: This is a very common symptom of UTI. It almost always clears away when the infection is successfully treated - but in some elderly nursing home patients w/ generally impaired health - it can be difficult to overcome the dementia-type symptoms. I hope the UTI is totally gone ASAP. Best!
