A member asked:
Does rare bacteria in urinalysis means uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Both men and women will have rare bacteria in a simple voided specimen . In the absence of other bladder sx usually has no significance. If the pt has other long standing GU problems then a more complete eval may be necessary .
