[Inappropriate treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria].
Revue Médicale Suisse 2024 April 11
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is frequently encountered in clinical practice and should be treated only in pregnant women and before invasive urological procedures. Inappropriate treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is associated with numerous adverse effects including allergic reactions, increased antibiotics resistance and increase risk of Clostridioides difficile infection. Positive urinary culture often leads to antimicrobial treatment, irrespective of urinary symptoms. Therefore, urine analysis and culture should be performed only in symptomatic individuals or in asymptomatic individuals with a clear indication for treatment.
