I was told by my nurse that a urine infection can trigger a flare up of old symptoms. In which case it might not be a relapse as such.
Any infection is capable of causing a "pseudo exacerbation". This is a temporary worsening of your MS symptoms, which should settle down again once the infection in resolved/treated.
