Urinary tract infection in pregnancy

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication of pregnancy. UTI during pregnancy may be classified as asymptomatic

bacteriuria, infections of the lower urinary tract (cystitis), or infections of the upper urinary tract (pyelonephritis). Approximately

30–40 % of women with asymptomatic bacteriuria will develop pyelonephritis during pregnancy, which may lead to significant

adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to perform screening for bacteriuria in pregnant women and,

when the test is pozitive, to treat this bacteriuria.

Keywords: pregnancy, urinary tract infection, asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis
