TAILIEUCHUNG - Asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women attending a tertiary care hospital

Urinary tract infection is one of the most frequently seen medical complications in pregnancy. Related to it further a number of complications such as acute and chronic pyelonephritis, hypertension, prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation and increased perinatal mortality. The detection of bacteriuria allows an approach to be made for the prevention of complications in pregnancy at an early stage. In view of the above, the present study was under taken with an aim to detect asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy. Two hundred antenatal women were included in the study. Culture of the urine sample was done by standard loop technique. Gram stain and wet film examination aided in the identification of organisms and detection of pyuria. Out of the 200 pregnant women (n=19) showed significant bacteriuria. Escherichia coli was the prevalent pathogen. The incidence of bacteriuria increased along with advanced maternal age, low socio economic status and illiteracy. Screening of bacteriuria is important during pregnancy. Efficacious treatment improves outcome. | Asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women attending a tertiary care hospital
