Obstetric and perinatal aspects of asymptomatic bacteriuria in underage pregnant women

Abstract

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the course of pregnancy in underage pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective, comparative analysis of the outpatient records of 70 underage pregnant women was performed. The mean age of the patients was 15.3±1.7 years. The main group included 35 patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB), and the control group consisted of 35 patients without asymptomatic bacteriuria. The patients were monitored during the entire period of pregnancy and childbirth. Based on the conducted research, a combination of therapeutic measures was formed.

RESULTS: Escherichia coli was shown to be the main causative agent, revealed during the examination; childhood infections, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and sexually transmitted infections were identified as triggering factors for the manifestation of asymptomatic bacteriuria. More complications were observed in underage pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria than in pregnant women without AB.

CONCLUSIONS: The main condition for a successful course of pregnancy in women with AB is the timely diagnosis of the disease and the implementation of therapeutic measures aimed at preventing its associated complications.
