A two-year study of 51 women has shown a highly significant relation between high counts of fastidious organisms in the urine and the presence of symptoms. The patients, even when symptom-free, differed in this respect from a control group who had not had urinary symptoms for 2 years and from a group on long-term low-dose prophylaxis for recurrent urinary infection. The history, physical signs, and natural history of urinary symptoms in these patients were consistent with a diagnosis of urethral or paraurethral infection.
一项针对51名女性的为期两年的研究表明，尿液中苛求菌数量高与症状的存在之间存在高度显著的关联。这些患者，即使没有症状，在这方面也与一个两年内没有泌尿系统症状的对照组以及一个长期接受低剂量预防复发性尿路感染治疗的组有所不同。这些患者泌尿系统症状的病史、体征和自然病程与尿道或尿道旁感染的诊断相符。
