Women; Urinary tract infection; Risk.Abstract
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in clinical practice and can be considered the second most common in humans. The UTI has high values in terms of the number of cases around the world. The most affected patients are healthy women with an active sex life, the elderly and pregnant women. The objective of the study was to identify the prevalence of women with possible urinary tract infection treated at a private laboratory in Belém - PA. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study, where data were collected, such as social profile, pre-existing disease and presence of symptoms and/or laboratory results of possible UTI, from 07/01/2020 to 07/31/2021. Of the total of 3240 patients, 1035 (31.94%) tested positive for UTI. As for the symptoms, it was revealed that 71% did not have suggestive symptoms. It was observed that 408 (12.59%) patients did not access their test results. The most prevalent microorganism in the cultures of patients who did not access their results was E. coli (76%). It is essential that patients, when performing their routine urinalysis and urine culture, have access to their diagnoses, for the correct treatment and avoiding exposure to risks due to untreated UTI.
