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:
