Dr. Bhawna Sharma*, Dr. Payal Dutta and Dr. Vikas Dhillon

ABSTRACT

The commonest infection associated with Diabetes mellitus is urinary tract infection, but many times UTI is symptomless and hence may go undiagnosed. In the present study, 125 midstream urine samples from diagnosed cases of DM were examined. Significant asymptomatic bacteriuria was detected in 40% of diabetic patients. Based on the present study pyuria, duration of diabetes, catheterization and glucosuria are the risk factors for asymptomatic UTI in patients with diabetes mellitus. Routine cultures must be recommended for those who show no urinary symptoms but who have one or more risk factors, identified in the study.
