Brief Answer:
It us a possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

A urinary tract infection can be severe enough to cause delirium, which is characterized by hallucinations, among other things. If you do not experience hallucinations when you don't have a uti, it seems like a somatic rather than a psychiatric problem.

Hope this helps.
