Abstract
Background: Prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is quite common among the diabetic population. The diagnosis of UTI should be suspected in any diabetic patient. The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in females suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus.Materials & Methods: A total of 180 diabetic females were included in the study. Urine samples were obtained from all the patients and prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was recorded. All the results were recorded on a Microsoft excel sheet and were analysed by SPSS software.
Results: In the present study a total of 180 females of age group 18-60 years suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus were included to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria. The prevalence of bacteriuria in the females was found to be 31.11%. The prevalence of bacteriuria in the females was maximum in the age group 30-40 years (39.28%).
Conclusion: The study concluded that prevalence of bacteriuria in the females suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus was found to be 31.11% and it was maximum in the age group 30-40 years (39.28%).
