D. Gyana Deepika, Dr. R. Aravind
Abstract: Pregnancy-related urinary tract infections (UTTIs) account for 20% of all obstetrical ward admissions. The risk of pre-eclampsia, low birth weight, cesarean births, sepsis, shock, renal failure, and premature birth can be increased. Incidence of PPROM in India ranges about 2.2- 4 % and PROM ranges about 9.8%. Prevalence of Genito-urinary tract infections increase in pregnant women, so the prevalence of Pre-Term Labour (PTL), PROM and PPROM increases as well. A prospective, observational study was conducted in a Tertiary care centre of Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh for a duration of 6 months. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genitourinary infections in patients with PTL, PROM and PPROM as well as to investigate the various risk factors for genitourinary infections during pregnancy.
