Correlation of urinary tract infection with urinary screening at the first antepartum visit.
Journal of the Mississippi State Medical Association 1990 October
Urinary tract infection contributes to the morbidity of pregnancy since 4-10 percent of antepartum patients have asymptomatic bacteriuria and 20-40 percent of these will result in pyelonephritis. A cost-effective outpatient assessment for asymptomatic bacteriuria in undelivered obstetric patients is described. In this study, 56 patients between 6-24 weeks gestation were assessed over a seven-month period by photometric urinary screening. This assessment was more accurate in identifying those patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria than prior history or symptoms. A 7 percent incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was noted with 75 percent being Escherichia coli and the remainder Klebsiella. Single-dose, oral antibiotic therapy was evaluated and resulted in no recurrences. Such screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria was felt to represent preventive and economic medical benefits.
