The significant growth of asymptomatic bacteriuria between male and female

Abstract

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the existence of bacteria in significant quantity in the absence of signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods: a cohort study was conducted among 24 students at LIMU university to determine the growth of ASB .12 were females and equal number of males. Result: from 12 females, 10 had ASB growth, among males only 3 had ASB growth. The P value was (0.004) which emphasize the significant different between males and females. Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common among the elderly. Select physiologic aging changes and associated diseases, both of which occur more often in these groups are the major contributing causes. There are few short or long-term adverse consequences associated with this high frequency and incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria, and no evidence of a survival impact
