PREVALENCE OF ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA IN GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS

Dr. N. Nikath Nasreen, Dr. Bm. Logeswari

Abstract :

Women with Diabetes Mellitus are considered immunocompromised and are therefore possibly more prone to develop infections of which the urinary tract is one of the most prevalent sites of infection.Moreover women with Diabetes Mellitus and a Urinary Tract Infection are more susceptible to severe and rare complications of UTI such as Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis. Seeing these deadly complications of asymptomatic bacteriuria and increasing incidence of GDM in our population this study was carried out to identify these patients early, treat them with appropriate antibiotics and to emphasise the importance of screening in all pregnant women and especially in GDM. As always prevention is better than cure. Aim of good antenatal care is to ensure the wellbeing of both mother and child.
