Abstract
Asymptomatic pyuria among diabetics is a condition which is largely undiagnosed and hence ignored in India. Among all diabetic patients, 26.5% were found to have asymptomatic pyuria which was either nitrite or leukocyte esterase positive. A community based cross-sectional study was carried out to measure the prevalence of asymptomatic pyuria among diabetics in Vellore district of Tamilnadu. 117 study participants were selected through systematic random sampling method. It was also noticed that more than 20% were males which suggest that not only females but males were also at a risk of getting asymptomatic pyuria, possibly related to old age.
