Detection of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria using Urinalysis Parameters, a Review
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common occurrence and are a unique pathology as they have a variable presentation [1]. The principal presentations include asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), acute cystitis, and pyelonephritis [2]. The focus of this review was on asymptomatic bacteriuria. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine without any symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Quantitative criteria for identifying significant bacteriuria in an asymptomatic person are: (1) at least 100,000 colony-forming units (CFUs) per mL of urine in a voided midstream clean-catch specimen and (2) at least 100 CFUs per mL of urine from a catheterized specimen [3-5].
