The condition is characterized by chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, flank pain, dysuria, proteinuria, and hematuria.

Infection is usually the result of bacterial contamination of a urinary catheter, but it may occur in any condition characterized by urinary stasis. How to thank TFD for its existence?
