Repeated UTIs From: Laney (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 29 Oct 2002 13:31:29 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Sex with infection" Previous message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "IVF TREATMENT" Next in thread: Fabio Fiorino, M.D.: "Re: peated UTIs" Reply: Fabio Fiorino, M.D.: "Re: peated UTIs" Reply: William McIntosh, MD: "Re: peated UTIs" Forgive me for asking a naive question, but I don't understand how a person can get repeated UTIs. I'm 20yrs old and have had several infections in the last few years, around 4-6 in total. Each time the urine test comes back as positive for e.coli and the infection has cleared up quickly with antibiotics. My question is, how can there be repeated infections in the same area again and again? Doesn't your body respond by creating antibodies? I've always been thought that you couldn't get the same infection twice -- i.e., colds are always caused by a different virus/infection. I was a little too embarrassed to bring it up in my microbio class. Thanks in advance!
