Abstract
The AA. considered 58 pregnant women affected by asymptomatic bacteriuria of pregnancy and 20 pregnant women with sterile urine during the first trimester of pregnancy as control group. Despite a constant treatment suggested by antibiogram the incidence of infective relapses was high but no patients were affected by important infections as acute haemorrhagic cystitis and acute pyelonephritis. In control group only 15% of patients had an asymptomatic urinary infection. These patients received the same treatment of the first group. In AA. opinion, a constant and careful screening of asymptomatic urinary infections is necessary in all pregnant women to prevent acute pyelonephritis.
