Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that has an associated mortality of up to 41.1%.1 Specifically, sepsis secondary to a urinary tract infection (UTI) accounts for nearly 25% of all sepsis cases. The urinary tract is the second most common infection site, accounting for approximately 20% to 40% of all severe cases of sepsis in patients.

Patients with indwelling urethral catheters, ureteric stents, nephrostomy tubes, neurogenic bladder, cystocele, and vesicoureteral refl ux are at a higher risk for developing urosepsis.
