Asymptomatic Bacterial Infection in Pregnancy: A new update

Abstract

Urinary tract infection is more common in women than in men and is usually associated with a bacterial infection which causes bacteriuria as one of the symptoms/diagnoses of bacterial in-fection; however, asymptomatic bacterial infections sometimes do not need argent treatment, but in specific causes such as pregnancy may require medical intervention. This study analyzes 210 articles and relevant guidelines for Asymptomatic bacterial infection (bacteriuria) in pregnant women in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Material and Methods: The pro-cedures are compared to the literature, including various studies on rates and cost-benefit analy-sis. In conclusion, several articles and guides prefer routinely testing pregnant in the first tri-mester.
