Acute pyelonephritis and uncomplicated UTI may be differentiated by all of the following, except:
Correct Answer: Organisms in excess of 100,000 cfu/ml
Description: Although acute pyelonephritis may be associated with organisms in excess of 100,000CFU/ml, this test cannot be used to localize the infection to the kidneys as such high counts are also seen in uncomplicated UTIs. All other tests mentioned are used to localize the infections to the kidney.
