HI
Well come to HCM
When Doctor want to ruled out the infection then such history being taken to know the source of infection and nothing serous it is just suspicion, but this may not be infection, here the age of patient is more important because of Benign Prostrate Hypertrophy, if he is above 50 years then this is very likely, hope this information helps, take care.
