klebsiella pneumoniae uti

[joy_india]

Hi after 2 weeks of unprotected vaginal sex i was diagnosed with klebsiella pneumoniae uti.
Is it an STD....can i get it through sex as it is uncommon for males to get urine infections.
Plz help

I got the same..it could be klebsiella or  chlamydia cell and skin infection (SSTI) they said that it must be surgically drained to get rid of the bacteria....However I used Bactroban + gentamycin + tumeric powder applied abundantly on the meatus then cover it up with a condom...Did it every 4 hrs after urination / beofre sleeping for the night.After 2-3 weeks, the cellulitis changed into episyphellas then fading away... In the mean time you have to ake Azithromycin 2g first day, 1g the next 3 days along with 4 weeks of vitamin C + doxycycling 2x100 mg/d...Or clindamycin 2x300 mg/d for at least 2 weeks...
Good luck.

I don't see any reason to be worried about cancer. There are no infections or medical conditions that delay HIV antibody, including UTI dur to klebsiella or anything else.

All this is too complex for a nonprofessional community forum. You'll need to discuss all this with the doctor or clinic in charge of your health care.  Good luck.

also i had taken a course of antibiotics and followed it with a urine culture which showed negative of any UTI....can my klebsiella pneumoniae delay the formation of hiv antibody i.e can it show negative hiv due to klebsiella UTI as i have read it is a sign of depressed immune system.?

no it was an unprotected vaginal sex...that too a single encounter....i have gone a full panel of std tests at 10 weeks and all were negative....do you think it can be prostate cancer?

thank you very much for the reply

UTIs with intestinal bacteria (which include Klebsiella) are rare in men but sometimes result from insertive anal sex. Have you had unprotected anal sex? However, most of the time it's not an STD at all, and sometimes occurs as a result of an underlying urinary tract problem like a kidney stone or a prostate infection. You should be evaluated by a urologist.
