MODERN APPROACHES TO THE MANAGEMENT OF PREGNANT WOMEN WITH ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA

Abstract

Urinary tract infections are the most common bacterial infections in women, especially during pregnancy. One of the most frequently observed urinary tract infections is asymptomatic bacteriuria (АB), which is characterized by mild clinical symptoms, but can lead to severe complications of pregnancy, with the development of sepsis in a short period of time and fetal death. This review is dedicated to ensure the rational use of antibacterial agents and to assist clinicians in determining the indications and conditions for antibiotic therapy in pregnant women with АB. The review includes publications devoted to this problem from PubMed, eLibrary databases. Prescribing medications during pregnancy should be reasonable, taking into account the state of the mother and the fetus and the benefit-risk relationship. Timely diagnosis and adequate antibiotic therapy for pregnant women with АB will reduce the incidence of pregnancy complications and improve perinatal outcomes.
