A Bacteriological Approach To Asymptomatic Bacteriuria . In Pregnancy

Mona Mohamed El Dcsouky El SAYED;

Abstract


Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the most common urinary tract infection encountered during pregnancy. Physiologic and mechanical changes of pregnancy contribute to increased pathogenicity of bacteriuria
in the gravid state.




The prevalence of ASB vanes considerably among different population 1:,rroups. This variation can be explained by risk factors such as age, parity, Diabetes mellitus (D.M), socioeconomic status or history of recurrent urinmy tract infections (UTis).



Previous works have established the association of ASB with the development of symptomatic infections, including pyelonephritis, pre­ eclampsia, anaemia and amnionitis. Fetal complications may be devastating, including prematurity, low birth weight, pyelonephritis,
sepsis and pneumonia.
