3 Differential Diagnosis
1) Cystitis - The clinical diagnosis of cystitis is made in a patient who has classic signs and
symptoms (ie, dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, and/or suprapubic pain). For women who
have atypical urinary symptoms, the diagnosis is supported by the presence of pyuria and
bacteriuria on urinalysis and/or culture.
2) Urethritis - Evaluation for urethritis is warranted in sexually active women with dysuria,
particularly those with pyuria on urinalysis but no bacteriuria. Causes of urethritis in women
include chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, Candida species, herpes simplex virus, and
noninfectious irritants, such as a contraceptive gel.
3) Painful bladder syndrome – This is a diagnosis of exclusion in women who have ongoing
discomfort related to the bladder with symptoms of dysuria, frequency, and/or urgency but no
evidence of infection or other identifiable cause.
