| dc.description.abstract | Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the existence of bacteria in significant quantity
in the absence of signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI).
Methods: a cohort study was conducted among 24 students at LIMU university to
determine the growth of ASB .12 were females and equal number of males.
Result: from 12 females, 10 had ASB growth, among males only 3 had ASB growth.
The P value was (0.004) which emphasize the significant different between males
and females.
Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common among the elderly. Select
physiologic aging changes and associated diseases, both of which occur more
often in these groups are the major contributing causes. There are few short or
long-term adverse consequences associated with this high frequency and
incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria, and no evidence of a survival impact | en_US |
