This study aims to define the usefulness of antibiotic prophylaxis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in postmenopausal female undergoing invasive urodynamics (IU). Two hundred sixty-two postmenopausal females underwent IU. Before urodynamics, all females were double blindly randomized in two age stratified groups. Group 1 (130 patients) received oral antibiotic prophylaxis with a single 400-mg dose of norfloxacin. Group 2 (132 patients) received norfloxacin placebo. Statistical analysis was performed by a chi (2) test to evaluate differences between groups for UTI incidence rate. Fifty-four patients of 262 (20.6%) resulted affected by UTI [24 of 130 subjects who received antibiotic prophylaxis (18.4%) and 30 of 132 subjects who received placebo (22.7%)]. There was no statically significant difference (P = 0.242) regarding UTI incidence rate between patients who received and those who did not received antibiotic prophylaxis. UTI incidence rate in postmenopausal women undergoing urodynamics is not affected by administration of antibiotic prophylaxis at the desired level of efficacy.

“…They hypothesized that UTI after IU could be transient and limited to first days after examination. Harvard and Glenn [8] reported an infection rate of 20% after urethral dilatation showing that no patient was found to be infected 6 days to 6 months after using antibiotic prophylaxis.…”

“…Consequently they postulated that bacteriuria after cystometry may be transient [ 13]. This is supported by Harvard and Glenn [ 14] who reported an infection rate of 20% after urethral dilatation; no antibiotics were given and no patients were found to be infected at follow‐up 6 days to 6 months afterwards.…”

Objective To study the incidence, natural history and ated with bacteriuria after urodynamic studies (P= 0.05). Menopausal status, past history of urinary tract symptomatic eCects of bacteriuria after urodynamic studies in women.infection, number of urethral instrumentations required, order number in a session, peak urinary flow Patients and methods In a prospective study in the urogynaecology clinic of a large District General rate and urodynamic diagnosis were not associated variables. Hospital, 214 women (mean age 52.3 years, range 23-81) underwent urodynamic studies. BacteriuriaConclusions In a large series of women presenting to a urogynaecology clinic, urodynamic investigations was detected by semiquantitative culture at 2 and 7 days after the test. Women completed a 7-day diary were associated with a high incidence of transient irritative symptoms but a low incidence of bacteriuria of symptoms and events. Results The incidence of bacteriuria after urodynamic (8%). Infection was asymptomatic in most patients, but its natural history was unpredictable. Transient, studies was 7.9%. Bacteriuria was transient in four of 17 women but persisted in nine and developed late in persistent and late cases of bacteriuria all occurred. In this population, urodynamic studies are associated four; only one of 17 infections gave rise to symptoms. Irritative bladder symptoms after the test occurred in with a low level of morbidity.
