The dipstick flags positive for glucose and leukocyte esterase. The sample is submitted to the lab for culture. After 24 hours of incubation, the culture shows >100 colonies of Escherichia coli. A repeat urine culture collected 48 hours later yields the same result: >100 colonies of E. coli, and a rare colony of yeast that is presumptively identified as Candida albicans. The provider calls to discuss the significance of the culture reports. The patient denies any symptoms of pelvic discomfort or pain during urination.
