Abstract :
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication of pregnancy. Symptomatic UTI occurs in one to two percent of all pregnancies, while asymptomatic bacteriuria has been reported in 2 to 13% of all pregnant women. [1] Several anatomical and hormonal changes in pregnant women lead to ureteral dilatation and urinary stasis, which contribute to the increased risk of developing UTI.
