Abstract
Deja vu is the sensation of having a recurrent experience. Within a year after an initial urinary tract infection (UTI), up to 30% of women will experience a recurrence of UTI symptoms.<sup>1</sup> A smaller group of women (1%) may experience frequent recurrence with six or more episodes in a year. Recurrent UTI, or "deja vUTI," is a challenging problem that still lacks a cohesive pathophysiological mechanism, and it is currently addressed with a wide range of clinical practices often based on experience rather than on high-quality evidence.
