2. Urinary tract infection is a common cause of getting Klebsiella pneumoniae.
If klebsiella pneumoniae gets into the urinary tract, it can cause a urinary tract infection. The urinary tracts include a number of organs, such as the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and ureters. Older women are prone to getting a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria get into the urinary tract. A urinary tract infection can occur by using a catheter for a long period of time. That’s why it’s important for medical staff and others to change catheters often.
A lot of the times, urinary tract infections don’t have any symptoms. A person can have klebsiella pneumoniae for a long time. The longer the infection is in the body, the worse the symptoms will be. When symptoms are present, it can cause burning and pain when urinating and frequent urination. Sometimes blood may be in the urine.
