| Abstract | ||
| Our study was conducted on 1000 diabetic females of variable ages without symptoms of UTI. There were both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. There were both married and unmarried females in both types of DM. In addition to 100 normal females, which are age matched with patients group. They constituted control group. Prevalence of ASB is significantly higher (P<0.01), by 4-5 folds in diabetic females than in normal ones. Several risk factors have been identified as glucosuria, proteinuria and duration of DM, whereas age, duration of marriage and seual activity are not proven to increase prevalence of ASB in diabetic females in our study. Repeated pregnancy times may be a risk factor for ASB in type 2 diabetic females (P<0.01). Staph. aureus was present in 54% of bacteriuric patients (with positive cultures) with either types of DM and E.coli was present in 30.8% of bacteriuric patients with either types of DM. Staph aureus is present in 45.9% of patients with type 1DM, while in type 2 DM, it was present in 59.1% of patients. E.Coli was isolated in 41.2% of patients with type 1 DM and it was present in 24.2% of patients with type 2 DM. | ||
