Dr. S. Nirupa, Dr. N. Nikath Nasreen

Abstract :

 

Infection of urinary tract is one of the most common problems in pregnancy due to anatomical and physiological changes that take place in the genitourinary tract in pregnancy. It may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. As the age advances prevalence of bacteriuria is increasing. Multiparous women are having more prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Less the socio economic class more the prevalence of infection. Correlation between demographic factors like socioeconomic class, gravida and age on infection was studied using chi square test. Keeping the complications of bacteriuria, it has to be treated with 7-day regimen of antibiotics, based on the sensitivity pattern. Urine culture is repeated after 2 weeks to see the effectiveness of the treatment.
