Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Urinary Tract Infection
Serratia urinary tract infection (UTI) must be differentiated from other causes of abdominal discomfort, dysuria, hematuria, pyuria, and/or polyuria, such as:
- Other causes of UTI
- E. coli
- Enterobacter spp.
- Enterococcus spp.
- Haemophilus spp.
- Klebsiella spp.
- Mycoplasma spp.
- Proteus spp.
- Providencia spp.
- Pseudomonas spp.
- Staphylococcus spp.
- Ureaplasma spp.
- Tuberculous infection of the urinary tract
- Sexually transmitted infections (e.g. Gonorrhea or Chlamydia)
- Parasiticc infections (e.g. threadworms)
- Viruses (e.g. HSV)
- Pyelonephritis (acute or chronic)
- Appendicitis
- Benign prostatic hypertrophy
- Prostatitis
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Urinary tract obstruction
- Vesicoureteral reflux
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Metal toxicity
- Sarcoidosis
- Genitourinary malignancy (e.g. bladder cancer)
- Renal transplant rejection
- Periurethral disease
- Interstitial cystitis
- Atrophic vaginitis
- Vulvovaginitis
- Urethritis
- Behcet disease
- Epididymitis
- Pregnancy
- Colovesical fistula
- Diverticulitis
- Glomerulonephritis
- Nephrolithiasis
- Trauma
- Ureterocele
Pneumonia
Serratia pneumonia must be differentiated from other causes of fever, chest pain, productive cough, dyspnea, and blood per sputum, such as:
Intra-abdominal Infection
Serratia intra-abdominal infection must be differentiated from other causes of abdominal pain and fever, such as:
Meningitis / Cerebral Abscess
Serratia meningitis / cerebral abscess must be differentiated from other causes of headache, fever, and altered mental status, such as:
Endocarditis
Serratia endocarditis must be differentiated from other causes of fever, petechiae, and abnormal heart murmurs, such as:
HEENT Infections
Serratia HEENT infections must be differentiated from other causes of eye infections (e.g. keratitis, endophthalmitis, and conjunctivitis), parotitis, or otitis, such as:
Soft Tissue Infections
Serratia soft tissue infections must be differentiated from other causes of osteomyelitis, cellulitis, and phlebitis, such as:
