Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
The aim is to study the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in diabetic and non diabetic female patients attending a tertiary care hospital. This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from July 2015 to December 2015. A total number of 120 diabetic and 120 non diabetic female patients were included in the study. We enrolled female patients with age group of more than 30 years with detailed diabetic history whose urine culture shown bacteriuria of >105cfu/ml in two consecutive urine specimens. 70% of diabetic and 23.3% non diabetic women are having asymptomatic bacteriuria. In both diabetic and non-diabetic patients asymptomatic bacteriuria more among the elderly females (>50%). E.coli remains the predominant organisms isolated in diabetic (45.2%) and non-diabetic patients (42.8%). The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is three times higher in diabetic females, with E.coli being predominantly isolated.
