What is the definition or description of: urine culture shows infection?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: A urine culture can only show the presence of bacteria in that particular specimen. The diagnosis of infection is clinical since some individuals can have asymptomatic bacteriuria and not be bothered by it. In addition at times the specimen can be contaminated and not representative of true infection.
