A Prospective Study of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Sexually Active Young Women

Abstract

Asymptomatic bacteriuria in young women is common but rarely persists. It is a strong predictor of subsequent symptomatic urinary tract infection.

Urologic Complications of Diabetes

“…In women without diabetes, ASB is relatively uncommon and increases risk of UTI but does not lead to serious sequelae (95). Diabetic women have a two-to threefold higher prevalence of ASB and are at risk for developing more serious consequences (92,93).…”

Are Antibiotics Necessary in Hip Arthroplasty With Asymptomatic Bacteriuria? Seeding Risk With/Without Treatment

“…This work was performed at University Hospital La Princesa, Madrid, Spain. asymptomatic bacteriuria increases with age, from 1% among schoolgirls to [ 40% among women older than 80 years [4,11,14,18,19]. Among men older than 75 years residing in the community, the prevalence is 6% to 20% [14,18,19].…”

Diretrizes para tratamento da sepse grave/choque séptico: abordagem do agente infeccioso - diagnóstico

“…However, symptomatic patients may have lower counts, and the value of urine culture results of less than 100,000 CFU/mL in diagnosing urinary tract infection depends on the patient's clinical features. For young and sexually active women with dysuria, pollakiuria and urinary urgency, 100 CFU/mL is significant (B) (104) (D). (105,106) Other conditions where urinary tract infection defining thresholds are lower than 100,000 CFU/mL include the following: young children, male patients, patients with urinary bladder catheters, recent antimicrobial use, diluted urine due to excessive fluid intake, urinary obstruction, pyuria and hematogenic pyelonephritis due to S. aureus or Candida sp.…”
