It was determined the septicemia was not treated properly so the uti's continued ravaging the entire body. Two years later I was dying from this and wound up in the emergency room of a hospital who called in the infectious disease doctors who did a proper work up. I am now continuing the intravenous anti-biotics at home with home health aids. I have said before and continue to say that the health treatment here in Ocala, Marion County Florida needs some sort of oversight commites for the health professionals. The septicemia also destroys the eyesight. I do appreciate this site and your caring. My love to all of you Peach

Hi "Peach", I am curious....did you have a UTI/kidney infection that did NOT show up in culture (no bacteria)? I have been going through gross hematuria with blood closts and what was kidney pain for a long time but never showed up in culture. I talked my NP into prescribing antibiotics and finally the 3rd one (cephalexan) has seemed to work, although 10 days after finishing it had a little visible blood in urine the morning I saw my urologist so he said it was not an infection. I did ask him for antibiotic and he prescribed a prophylactic nitrofurontoin mono 100 mg to take at night. Since my visit to him and starting April 2 my urine is back to normal. He wants to do a repeat cystoscopy and scheduling a CT urogram (after having a CT scan without contrast and ultrasound 4 months ago which all came back "normal" as did his first cystoscopy). I still think it was an infection that did not culture, but subsequent antibiotics have cleared up?
