In this survey, made to determine instances of bacteriuria occurring in hospitalized patients who had undergone catheterization, 259 urine specimens were taken from 103 patients admitted to three hospitals in Tehran. Of the 73 patients who had no urinary tract infection or contamination, 40 (54.8%) developed bacteriuria at the end of catheterization. Incidence of bacteriuria in patients un...

BACKGROUND A high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria exists in patients prior to arthroplasty, and urinary tract infection is considered to be a source of postoperative superficial wound and prosthetic joint infections. There is no consensus whether to screen for and treat asymptomatic bacteriuria before arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE To summarize the association between asymptomatic bacteriuria...

Background: Diabetic subjects, especially women, show high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to find out the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates.

The urinary tract is a common site for bacterial infection in childhood. Population screening for bacteriuria has revealed a slight male preponderance in the neonatal period, but thereafter it is more prevalent in girls, becoming as much as 50 times more common by the age of 5 years. Follow up of asymptomatic bacteriuria in schoolgirls has failed to show any convincing evidence that its discove...
