Dear Dr. Kirby,

Fiche anglais thème 3 – PAMO 2020/2021

I would like to refer to you a patient of mine, Mr Tom, A 60 year-old man for suspected
urinary tract disorders. The patient is complaining of a burning dysuria for 5-6 weeks,
associated with nocturia, polyuria and hematuria. This episode has been going on for 5-6
weeks. The patient described the problem as disabling while sitting.
On examination, the patient had no detectable abnormalities [Examination of the patient is
normal and shows no visible abnormalities]. The urinary test does not reveal any bacterial or
viral infections. I am unable to detect the origin of the problem, so I am sending this patient
to you for complementary exams of the urinary tract.
I am enclosing the patient's medical record and history. :
- Medical History = No previous occurence of dysuria
- Current treatment = Multivitamins intake
- Social History = 4 cigarettes per day but former heavy smoker
- Family History = Prostat cancer in the family
I value our relationship and I’m confident that your department is very able to see what the
problem is. Thank you in advance for attending to Mr. Tom.

Sincerely,

Dr. Florence
