Abstract
One thousand out of a total Obstetric population of 3,548 patients seen between January and December, 1985, were screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria. During the first trime-ster, the observed incidence was 5.3 per cent while in the second and third trimesters it was 4.1 and 2.8 per cent respectively. The overall pick-up rate was 4.0 per cent. The significance of this observation was discussed. The qualitative culture method as described in this study is a simple, sensitive and reliable method of screening for bacteriuria in pregnancy, especially as it can be used for identification of the causative organism and its antibiotic sensitivity.
