Nancy is an energetic 66-year-old widow who walks three miles every day and does water aerobics three days a week. When she develops an annoying sinus infection, she doesn’t let it slow her down; she calls her doctor, gets a prescription for antibiotics, and takes them as prescribed. After a couple of weeks the sinus infection is gone, but Nancy notices that she has to urinate much more frequently than usual. She has a burning sensation while urinating, and her back aches. Recognizing the common symptoms of a urinary tract infection, Nancy tries her favorite home remedy of drinking lots of cranberry juice—after all, she didn’t get to be a healthy 66 by running to the doctor with every problem. However, her symptoms get worse. The pain spreads to her lower back, she develops a fever, and she feels so weak she can barely get out of bed. Then she notices her urine is reddish and contains what looks like pus. Alarmed, Nancy struggles to the phone and calls her favorite niece, Maya, who’s in nursing school. Maya rushes over, examines her aunt quickly, and calls 911. Maya rides with Nancy to the emergency room. What is making Nancy so ill? Why do you think her urine looks reddish?
