THE INCIDENCE RATE OF ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA AMONG LIMU STUDENTS

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common illnesses that develop when bacteria enter the urethra and infect the urinary system, typically through the skin or the rectum. The aim of the study is to find the difference in asymptomatic bacteriuria between males & females. The first test was a macroscopic urine-analysis test, the second test was a microscopic gram staining, and the third test was a culture media, the statistical data was analyzed by SPSS v26 software, on which a chi-square test was performed, and the study showed that the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among LIMU students is higher in females than males (the P value = 0.004).
