If blood got infected with urinary tract organisms, then it's serious issue only. He needs to be monitored closely in a hospital, to be given intravenous antibiotics for nearly 2 weeks. Based on the culture report, it's need to be given. A CT scan of KUB region is required to rule out obstruction. If there's any hydronephrosis, he may need stenting or PCN.
