Yes but not always: E.Coli is common cause of UTI. Bloody urine is common but not specific for any one bacteria. After ruling out infection, older patients must make sure blood is not from cancer or another cause. See your doctor.

Herpes is six to twelve weeks after exposure, if there is a sore. But, 90% of those infected with herpes do not get outbreaks or sores. Hepatitis A, B, and C do not show symptoms in the throat. Scabies is not an infection of the throat.
