Abstract

Objective: Our aim are to identify the incidence of lower urinary tract infection and asemptomatic bacteriuria among the pregnant women who attend to our clinics and to evaluate which test or complaint diagnose the urinary tract infection accurately. Material and Methods: Dipstick urinary tests, direct microscopies and urine cultures were performed to all pregnant women who attend to Kartal Research Hospital Obstetrics clinics, without regarding their gestational ages and were asked to them whether they had any urinary complaints, vaginal discharge, disuria, frequency, flank pain and lower ingiunal pain. Urine culture was accepted gold standart for urinary infection. The urine culture results and the other urinary complaints and urinary examinations (dipstick test and direct microscopy) were compared using. Pearson correlation analysis. Result: There was no correlation between the urine culture and dipstick examination but there was highly statistically significant correlation between the urinary culture and microscopic examination. There were significant correlations among the urinary culture and the urinary symptoms (disuria, flank pain low ingiunal pain). It was found that direct microscopy had 61% sensitivity and 99% specivity, dipstick examination had 15% sensitivity and 96% specivity, diuria had 55% sensitivity and 95% specivity, flank pain had 55% sensitivity and 90% specivity vaginal discharge had 24% sensitivity and 88% specivity and laver ingiunal pain had 32% sensitivity and 93% specivity. Conclusion: Direct microscopy is a cost-effective and easy-done diagnostic test compared to urine culture in urinary infections to diagnose urinary infection accurately.

Özet

Amaç: Bizim bu çalışmadaki amaçlarımızdan biri kendi obstetrik polikliniğimize başvuran hasta grubunda alt üriner sistem enfeksiyonu insidansını belirlemek ve klinik pratikte alt üriner sistem enfeksiyonu tanısını hangi tetkik ve değerlendirme yöntemi ile ne kadar doğru koyduğumuzu araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kartal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Obstetrik Polikliniğimize bir ayda başvuran tüm gebelerden, gebelik haftasına bakılmaksızın dipstick idrar testi direkt inceleme ve idrar kültürü tetkikleri istendi. Ayrıca tüm gebeler vajinal akıntı, dizüri, yan ağrısı, kasık ağrısı ve sık idrara çıkma şikayetleri yönünden sorgulandı. Daha sonra idrar kültürü sonuçları ile tek tek dipstick test sonuçları, mikroskobik inceleme sonuçları ve semptomlar arasında SPSS 10.0 programı kullanılarak Pearson korelasyon analizi yapıldı ve sensitivite, spesifisite hesaplandı. Bulgular: İdrar kültürü ile diğer parametreler arasında korelasyon analizi yapıldığında gördük ki, idrar kültürü ile dipstick idrar testi arasında korelasyon yok iken (korerasyon katsayısı: 0.129, p>0.68), idrar kültürü ile direk mikroskopi arasında ileri derecede anlamlı bir korelasyon vardır (korerasyon katsayısı: 0.725, p>0.0001). Kültür ile karşılaştırıldığında, dipstick idrar testi %15 sensitif, %96 spesifik, direkt bakı ise %61 sensitive, %99 spesifik bulunmuştur. Semptomlar ile karşılaştırıldığında ise; dizüri %55 sensitive, %95 spesifik, yan ağrısı %55 sensitif, %90 spesifik, kasık ağrısı %32 sensitif, %93 spesifik, sık idrara gitme %38 sensitif, %92 spesifik, akıntı %24 sensitive, %88 spesifik olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bize göre direkt bakı kültüre göre daha kolay, daha az zaman gerektiren ve daha ucuz bir tetkik olduğu için, idrar kültürünün yapılamadığı şartlarda güvenilir bir tanı testi olarak kullanılabilir ve maliyeti oldukça düşürebilir.
