Summary

Pregnant women with urinary tract infections, including asymptomatic bacteriuria, require early detection and treatment. Fosfomycin trometamol is a safe and effective option for managing these conditions during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Context:

  • Pregnancy alters urinary tract morphology and function, increasing susceptibility to infections.
  • Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) in pregnancy elevates risks of preterm labor, low birth weight, and acute pyelonephritis (AP).

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of antibiotic regimens for UTIs during pregnancy.

Summary:

  • Uroculture is the definitive diagnostic method for AB; other tests lack sufficient accuracy.
  • Escherichia coli accounts for approximately 80% of UTIs in pregnancy.
  • Fosfomycin trometamol demonstrates safety and efficacy for treating AB and acute cystitis (AC) in pregnant individuals.

  • Acute pyelonephritis (AP) is a leading cause of hospitalization in pregnant women, necessitating careful management and follow-up due to potential maternal and fetal complications.

    • Impact:

    • Early detection and treatment of AB can mitigate risks to pregnancy outcomes.
    • Effective management of UTIs in pregnancy is crucial for preventing severe maternal and fetal complications.
    • Recurrence of UTIs in pregnant women underscores the need for vigilant follow-up and management strategies.
