Abstract
Multiple sclerosis patients with bladder dysfunction are prone to have an asymptomatic
urinary tract infection. Because bladder function abnormalities occur at some time
in 70% to 90% of multiple sclerosis patients, a quantitative estimate of the bacterial
concentration in the urine as well as a culture is mandatory. treatment of bladder
dysfunction or infection will vary according to the postvoiding residual volume. A
patient with multiple sclerosis and asymptomatic urinary tract infection is reported
that highlights strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of the urinary tract infection.
