“…Severe complications of UTI occur virtually only in patients with diabetes. In 1935, Sharkey and Root [2] reported purulent UTI in 18% of the necroscopy specimens obtained from patients with diabetes. Robbins and Tucker [3] reported that, at autopsy, 4.5% of patients with diabetes had papillary necrosis.…”

We screened 228 women with diabetes for bacteriuria during the period of January 1997 through December 2000 at Pisa General Hospital (Pisa, Italy). A control group of 146 women without diabetes was also evaluated. The frequency of significant bacteriuria was 17.5% (40 of 228) among women with diabetes and 18.5% (27 of 146) among women in the control group. Seven (13.5%) of 52 and 33 (18.8%) of 176 women with type 1 and in type 2 diabetes, respectively, had significant bacteriuria. The presence of higher glycated hemoglobin levels was the only significant risk factor for significant bacteriuria in women with type 2 diabetes. A similar frequency of bacteriuria in women with and women without diabetes was found. Severe impairment of metabolic control of type 2 diabetes increases the risk of acquiring asymptomatic bacteriuria.

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is one of the common diseases affecting a large number of population throughout the world. (1) Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in diabetic patients. Many UTIs are asymptomatic and whether symptomatic UTI are preceded by asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is not known. Asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to symptomatic urinary infection as well as increase in tendency for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal failure as one of the long-term adverse effects. The prevalence rate of ASB in diabetic women are 9%-29% among females and 0.7%-11% in males. (2,3) The most common aetiological agents (4,5,6) in asymptomatic bacteriuria are Klebsiella pneumonia, E. coli, Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus agalactiae, Enterococcus faecalis, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CONS) and Streptococcus pyogenes. UTI is a common problem among females and non-diabetics also, hence a study was conducted to know the asymptomatic bacteriuria among type 2 diabetics and non-diabetics.

“…Significant, or true, baeterinria as evidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) has been found more frequently in diabetic patients than in the population at large [18,5,1]. ttowever, in recent years, others [i9, 7] have questioned this higher prevalence.…”
