Viral Lower Respiratory Infection
Virus may be shed for up to three weeks post infection and also by patients with asymptomatic infections.[virology.uct.ac.za]
Immunity following infection is poor and re-infections are common, although often subclinical.[virology.uct.ac.za]
Vitamin D Deficiency
It is often seen in older people with osteoporosis.[nps.org.au]
Supplementary requirements are therefore greater in patients with hyperparathyroidism.[nps.org.au]
Diagnosing vitamin D deficiency Vitamin D deficiency is usually asymptomatic, but signs and symptoms can include muscle aches and particularly weakness (proximal limb girdle[nps.org.au]
Urinary Tract Infection
Health care providers frequently struggle to differentiate UTI from asymptomatic bacteriuria, particularly in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most patients remain asymptomatic.[microbiologybook.org]
However, antibiotic prescriptions for clinically suspected UTIs are often inappropriate.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Vaginitis
Patients may present with vaginal discharge, but this condition is often asymptomatic.[clinicaladvisor.com]
When symptoms occur, female patients often report malodorous discharge which can be associated with vulvo-vaginal irritation and vaginal spotting.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Most men and a significant percentage of women are asymptomatic of TV infection.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Cystitis
Moreover, catheterized patients often have pyuria and bacteriuria, thus, it is difficult to determine whether cystitis versus asymptomatic bacteriuria is present.[clinicaladvisor.com]
It is often difficult to distinguish cystitis from asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients who are catheterized, have altered sensorium, or have neurogenic bladder, and it is[clinicaladvisor.com]
Perhaps most important, it is often difficult to determine whether symptoms in a patient with bacteriuria are due to cystitis or to some other cause.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Acute Cystitis
[…] catheters) often have persistent asymptomatic bacteriuria and sometimes pyuria.[merckmanuals.com]
Most patients remain asymptomatic.[microbiologybook.org]
In patients with indwelling catheters, treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria often fails to clear the bacteriuria and only leads to development of antibiotic-resistant organisms[merckmanuals.com]
Constipation
A gluten-free diet often leads to improvement in the quality of life, even in patients who considered themselves asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis [ 58 ].[web.archive.org]

Iron Deficiency
Patients with iron deficiency anemia are often asymptomatic and have limited findings on examination.[aafp.org]
A more practical approach is to recheck the patient periodically; no further follow-up is necessary if the patient is asymptomatic and the hematocrit level remains normal.[aafp.org]
7 BLOOD TRANSFUSION There is no universally accepted threshold for transfusing packed red blood cells in patients with iron deficiency anemia.[aafp.org]
Musculoskeletal Lower Back Pain
This elderly male patient, who was previously asymptomatic, developed low back pain and difficulty with urination.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to its insidious nature, it is a difficult diagnosis and one that is often delayed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Adenovirus Infection
Detection of virus in stool may be useful for epidemiological investigation but is often positive for months after acute infection because of asymptomatic shedding.[infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com]
In immunocompromised patients, biopsy specimens may be very useful in documenting the cause of hepatitis or colitis, allowing identification of the virus or diagnostic histopathologic[infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com]
