She has a history of two episodes of urinary tract infections in the past three years treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. She is married, sexually active and takes contraceptive pills. Her last menstrual period was 5 days ago. On physical examination, her pulse is 100/min., blood pressure is 120/80 and her temperature is 103 F.
