Prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria between male and female

Abstract

Asymptomatic bacteriuria constitutes a massive problem, especially for women who are pregnant, sexually active, or hospitalized patients on catheter devices, it could turn out into a symptomatic urinary tract infection if patients did not receive the appropriate treatment, thus it may cause complications such as pyelonephritis and bladder infections as it ascends in a retro-vesical manner. Chi-square was used as the ideal statistical method to clarify data; the study was performed among third-year medical students at Libyan international medical university to achieve a compatible interpretation of the significant differences between males and females in the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria.
