Abstract
Abstract:The objective is to study the maternal and fetal outcome following diagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria of pregnancy in early versus late pregnanacy. 170 women were divided into 2 groups-Group A -Period of gestation less than 20 weeks. Group B - Period of gestation between 28-34 weeks. A midstream specimen of urine was obtained in the clinic from the women and sent for culture and sensitivity. Culture of micro organism in urine was done on CLED medium. The plates were read after 24hrs of aerobic incubation at 37*c. A sample with single organism obtained in counts >105 colony was taken as positive. Rate of prevalence of aymptomatic bacteriuria was 16.67% in Group A while it was 22.02% in Group B E.coli was the most common organism isolated in 60.71% and 59.46% of early detected and late detected group followed by enterococcus.64.86% of women in late detected women gave birth to babies having birth weight <2500 gm while only 18.82% in ASB Negative group delivered babies having birth weight <2500gm. The above study suggests that all pregnant women should undergo routine urine culture in early pregnancy to avoid various complications like preeclampsia, preterm labor, low birth weight babies. Keywords:asymptomatic bacteriuria, preeclampsia, preterm labor, low birth.
