Abstract
Asymptomatic UTI in Pregnancy Women Attending at AnteNatal Care Clinic at Minia Obstetrics University Hospit
Highlights
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of more than 100,000 colonies of a single bacterial species per milliliter of urine, cultured from midstream sample in the absence of declared symptoms (Kim et al, 2018).Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common in women and increases in prevalence with age and/or sexual activity
The aim of work: To evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic Urinary tract infections (UTI) and to establish antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the pathogens resulting asymptomatic UTI in pregnant women attending at ante-natal care clinic at Minia Obstetrics University Hospitals
On overall (38.8%) of urine samples revealed as asymptomatic UTI
Summary
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of more than 100,000 colonies of a single bacterial species per milliliter of urine, cultured from midstream sample in the absence of declared symptoms (Kim et al, 2018).Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common in women and increases in prevalence with age and/or sexual activity. Objectives: This work aims to find the prevalence of asymptomatic UTI and to establish antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the pathogens resulting asymptomatic UTI in pregnant women attending at ante-natal care clinic at Minia Obstetrics University Hospitals. The prevalence of UTI in three trimesters and in different age groups was obtained together with antimicrobial drug susceptibility tests. Results: On overall (38.8%) of urine samples revealed with significant bacteriuria and considered as the asymptomatic UTI. Conclusion: There was remarkable incidence of asymptomatic UTI among the pregnant women in the study region; screening of urine of all pregnant women is very important and should be included in the routine antenatal checkups to detect the symptomatic UTI to prevent the maternal and obstetric complications in them.
