Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the shorter urethra and the greater closeness of the anus to the vagina, this is a more common health condition in women than in men. Pregnant women are twice as likely to be affected as non-pregnant women of the same age. To study Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy and maternal and foetal outcome as well as the clinical efficacy of single-dose fosfomycin trometamol in the treatment of asymptomatic urinary tract infections in pregnancy. This prospective study was undertaken in 380 antenatal women, irrespective of their period of gestation were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, attending OPD of Obstetrics and Gynecology at I.P.G.M.E.R and S.S.K.M Hospital, Kolkata for the first time, over a period of 18 months from February 2019 to July 2020. Women with asymptomatic bacteriuria were further divided into test group receiving treatment with fosfomycin and other control group receiving placebo. Out of 380 mother, 43 had asymptomatic bacteriuria. Incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria during pregnancy in this study was 11.3%. E. coli was the predominating organism (65.11) followed by Klebsiella aerogenes (27.90%) and group B streptococcus, Acenobacter and Enterococcus (2.33%) each. Treatment with Fosfomycin significantly reduces the complication compared to untreated group. In pregnant women, asymptomatic bacteriuria is prevalent. Because of the catastrophic repercussions for both mother and foetus, all pregnant women should be screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria at their initial prenatal visit and those who are positive should be regularly monitored after treatment.
