EP095 - Managing Male Urinary Tract Infections

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website.

This episode outlines a medical case study involving a 40-year-old man presenting with dysuria (painful urination) and urinary frequency, suggesting a urinary tract infection (UTI). It details the patient's symptoms, relevant medical history, and initial laboratory findings, specifically noting the positive dipstick results for protein, leukocytes, and nitrites in his urine, indicative of infection. The primary purpose is to instruct a medical candidate on diagnosing the condition, advising the patient on management, and discussing potential questions, while emphasising the importance of appropriate antibiotic treatment and ruling out more serious underlying conditions, particularly given that UTIs are less common in men.
