Who is your patient?

Pregnant? Treat.
Complicated? (Diabetic, man, immunocomp, etc) Treat.

Is it worth treating?

Also it depends on whether or not it is a male / female.

There is no such thing as an uncomplicated UTI in men - you will always treat it.

Check if they are sexually active and look for STDs like chlamydia.

B4 we treat anything, are we certain the sample was collected properly and didn't get contaminated?
