Asymptomatic bacteriuria among antenatal women attending a tertiary care hospital in Kanchipuram: evaluation of screening tests and antibiotic susceptibility pattern

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONUrinary tract infections are a common health problem and are more common in women compared to men. 1 The altered physiological, anatomical and hormonal changes during Pregnancy makes the antenatal mother more prone for Urinary tract infection. Such infections can be either symptomatic or asymptomatic. The term asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is used when a bacterial count of the same species over 10⁵/ ml in midstream clean catch specimen of urine is obtained on two occasions without symptoms of urin… Show more

“…An interesting finding in this study, is that urine pus cell scale is of predictive value in discriminate between infected and none infected urine samples. Our result concerning pus cells in urine was consistent to that reported previously [31][32][33][34]. Thus pus cell detection in urine sample could be used for the screening in a large sample size as non-invasive and cost-effective for diagnosis of urinary tract infection.…”

“…However, economic status significantly influence urinary tract infection in female student and the infection increased with the increase of economic status level. No data in literature to perform the comparison with them as the studies in university students concentrated on the incidence and antibiogram of the isolated bacteria [31][32][33][34].…”

“…For studies that lasted for more than 12 months, the midyear of the study period that actual sampling and laboratory evaluation was done was determined as the date of the study. Nine studies reported data on patients with symptomatic UTI, 24,27,29,[31][32][33]43,44,46 nine reported AB, 25,26,[34][35][36][37][40][41][42] and infection type in five studies 28,30,38,39,45 were indeterminate. Two studies included postpartum women.…”
