Abstract

Urinary tract infections (asymptomatic bacterial urine, cystitis and acute pyelonephritis) are the most common complications of pregnancy. They are caused by the anatomical and physiological changes of pregnant women. Early diagnosis and management are essential to avoid possible maternal and infant sequelae. Diagnosis is done by identifying pathogens through urine culture. The most common microorganism is Escherichia coli. Treatment is carried out under antibiotic coverage, and management can be outpatient or inpatient treatment, as appropriate.
