“…The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in HIVpositive individuals varies depending on the population studied [6,[9][10][11]. De Pinho et al, for example, reported a prevalence of 3% in asymptomatic HIV-positive individuals and 13% in those with AIDS [10].…”

Human immunodeficiency virus-positive individuals are at increased risk of both asymptomatic and symptomatic urinary tract infections. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in HIV-positive individuals, its associated factors including any correlation with the CD4 count of the patient, and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolated organisms. Midstream urine and blood samples were collected from 242 consenting HIV-positive patients who were attending routine follow-up clinic during the six-month period of the study. Microscopy, culture, and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the samples were carried out following standard protocols, and CD4 counts were also determined. Fifty one (21.1%) of the 242 individuals had significant bacteriuria. The predominant organism was Klebsiella spp. (35%) followed by Escherichia coli (31%). Prevalence of bacteriuria was higher in the women. Low CD4 counts and young age were significantly associated with the presence of bacteriuria. ASB prevalence is high in this population and related to the CD4 count level.

“…Another immunosuppressive condition with a higher prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is the infection with HIV (Awolude et al, 2011). Several studies suggest a correlation between low CD4+ counts and the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (Awolude et al, 2011, De Pinho et al, 1994, Hoepelman et al, 1992. No articles were identified addressing the use of antibiotic treatment for this patient population.…”

“…Chemotherapy-induced granulocytopenia during the treatment of a variety of malignancies possibly represents a risk factor for patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria to develop urinary tract infections (Gurwith et al, 1979). Another immunosuppressive condition with a higher prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is the infection with HIV (Awolude et al, 2011). Several studies suggest a correlation between low CD4+ counts and the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (Awolude et al, 2011, De Pinho et al, 1994, Hoepelman et al, 1992.…”
