The patient is diagnosed with influenza. Which of the following best describes the route:

A. While E. coli is a common cause of urinary tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is typically associated with sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.

B. Pyuria, or the presence of pus in urine, is common in both urinary tract infections and PID due to the inflammatory response.

C. Although these conditions are more prevalent in females, urinary tract infections can also occur in males, so they are not exclusive to females.

D. While urinary tract infections can result from ascending infections, PID is often a result of infections spreading upward from the cervix into the reproductive organs.

A. Oral edema and vomiting are not typical signs of allergic rhinitis; these symptoms are more associated with systemic allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.

B. Laryngeal edema may occur in severe allergic reactions but is not characteristic of allergic rhinitis specifically.

C. Urticaria refers to hives and is another form of allergic response but does not describe the nasal symptoms typical of allergic rhinitis.

D. Swelling and itching of the nasal passages are hallmark symptoms of allergic rhinitis due to inflammation from allergen exposure.
