A urinary tract infection in which bacteria lodge in the urinary bladder and multiply, causing inflammation, is known as:
ATetany cramps
BKidney infection
CAsymptomatic bacteriuria
DCystitis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Cystitis
1. Cystitis is bladder infection where bacteria lodged in the urinary bladder multiply and cause inflammation.
2. It is most common in the 20 to 50 age group.
3. Kidney infection is when bacteria travel up to the kidneys, so it is wrong.
4. Asymptomatic bacteriuria shows no symptoms, and tetany is a calcium-related muscle disorder, so they are ruled out.
