Abstract
Background : The diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in institutionalized older adults is often based on vague symptoms and a positive culture. The high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which cannot be easily discriminated from an acute infection in this population, is frequently neglected, leading to a vast over-prescription of antibiotics.
Aims and objectives :this study was carried out to determine the incident rate of Asymptomatic bacteriuria among LIMU
