Urethral syndrome is defined as symptoms suggestive of a lower urinary tract infection but in the absence of significant bacteriuria with a conventional pathogen.[1] It is a diagnosis of exclusion in patients with dysuria and frequency without demonstrable infection.[2] In women, vaginitis should also be ruled out.[3]
