Abstract |
|
Pregnancy is a risk factor for urinary tract
infections. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is the most
common type of urinary tract infections ranging
between 4-7% and is a significant health risk in
pregnancy. Although many different tests have been
proposed, quantitative urine culture is still the
gold standard method for asymptomatic bacteriuria
and it should be performed in the first visit and at
regular intervals during pregnancy.In this paper, we
discuss the significance of urine culture versus
other tests among pregnant women.
Keywords: urinary tract infection, pregnancy,
culture.
