Article Synopsis
- - Asymptomatic bacteriuria affects a notable percentage of pregnant women, with some developing symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) that carry risks like low birthweight and preterm delivery.
- - Current methods for detecting UTIs, including urine cultures and dipstick tests, have limitations, particularly in interpreting results for asymptomatic bacteriuria, highlighting the need for more reliable diagnostic guidelines.
- - The study aims to create and assess an evidence-based algorithm to improve the interpretation of urinalysis results and treatment decisions for asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant patients during routine obstetric visits.
Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is an important tool for the diagnosis of infectious disease. FNA material should be appropriately submitted for cultures when indicated by preliminary findings. Correlation of cytologic diagnoses with culture results are important quality assurance tools.
