Lower urinary tract infection: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Inflammation of the bladder wall also causes hematuria and fever. Other common features include low back pain, malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or tenderness over the bladder area, chills, and flank pain.

ELDER TIP The most common initial symptoms of lower UTI in elderly patients are lethargy and a change in mental status.

Whooping cough: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

After an incubation period of about 7 to 10 days, B. pertussis enters the tracheobronchial mucosa, where it produces progressively tenacious mucus. Whooping cough follows a classic 6-week course that includes three stages, each of which lasts about 2 weeks.

First, the catarrhal stage characteristically produces an irritating hacking, nocturnal cough, anorexia, sneezing, listlessness, infected conjunctiva and, occasionally, a low-grade fever. This stage is highly communicable.

After a period of 7 to 14 days, the paroxysmal stage produces spasmodic and recurrent coughing that may expel tenacious mucus. Each cough characteristically ends in a loud, crowing inspiratory whoop; excessive coughing; and choking on mucus, causing vomiting. (Patients with persistent cough should be evaluated for whooping cough, because not every patient will develop paroxysms or the distinctive whooping sound.) Paroxysmal coughing may induce such complications as nosebleed, increased venous pressure, periorbital edema, conjunctival hemorrhage, hemorrhage of the anterior chamber of the eye, detached retina (and blindness), rectal prolapse, inguinal or umbilical hernia, seizures, atelectasis, and pneumonitis. In infants, choking spells may cause apnea, anoxia, and disturbed acid-base balance. During this stage, patients are highly vulnerable to fatal secondary bacterial or viral infections. Suspect such secondary infection (usually otitis media or pneumonia) in any whooping cough patient with a fever during this stage, because whooping cough itself seldom causes fever.

During the convalescent stage, paroxysmal coughing and vomiting gradually subside. However, for months afterward, even a mild upper respiratory tract infection may trigger paroxysmal coughing. (Paroxysmal coughing may not be present in partially immunized individuals.)

Urinary Tract Infections: Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)

In adults, the diagnosis of urinary tract infection is often associated with signs such as increased frequency or dysuria; these symptoms may be lacking in young children. A urinary tract infection needs to be considered in any young child presenting with fever. Studies have shown that the rate of urinary tract infection in infants with unexplained fever is between 5% and 10%. An uncircumcised male with an unexplained fever of greater than 39 °C (102.2°F) has been reported as having a 35% chance of having a urinary tract infection.
