Urinary tract infection rates associated with re-use of catheters in clean intermittent catheterization of male veterans

Annie J Kannankeril et al. Urol Nurs. 2011 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Clean intermittent catheterization used to manage urinary retention can be complicated by urinary tract infection (UTI). This retrospective study describes the frequency of antibiotic-treated UTI in patients undergoing intermittent catheterization. Most patients did not have UTI; this supports findings in previous studies.
