Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary injuries from urinary tract infections (UTIs) during pregnancy are uncommon but can lead to serious complications like respiratory issues and pulmonary edema, making early detection vital for the health of both mother and fetus.
- A review of 15 articles identified 7 relevant studies, showing that 1-2% of pregnant women may experience acute pyelonephritis linked to UTIs, which can negatively impact lung function and increase inflammation in the lungs.
- Although more research is needed, raising awareness among healthcare professionals about the potential pulmonary risks associated with UTIs in pregnant women is crucial for improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.*
