Asymptomatic Bacteruria in Pregnancy, Prevalence, Risk Factors and causative Organisms
Main Article Content
Abstract
To screen the antenatal women for the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among the women who attended our antenatal clinic was 22 %. Primi gravida was prone for infection followed by multi gravida. Correlation between demographic factors like age and socio economic status on infection was studied using chi-square test. Asymptomatic bacteriuria was more common in the younger age groups (p=0.019) and in the lower socioecnomic class Hence spreading awareness regarding high risk factors for ASB and screening the pregnant women at the earliest wil help in preventing the complications of ASB which thereby reduces the public health burden.
