Description

Quantitative bacterial culture on clean-catch urine was carried out in a group of 155 diabetic outpatients and in the same number of non-diabetic outpatients with the same distribution of age and sex, in order to investigate the prevalence of and contributing factors to bacteriuria in the diabetic patients.<BR>Significant bacteriuria was detected at a rate of 5.8% and 2.8%, respectively, in the two groups. However, this difference was not statistically significant. Moreover, no significant differences were obtained when the data was analyzed according to sex and age group.<BR>In the diabetic patients, factors such as history of previous catheterization, age, duration, regimen and control of diabetes, and diabetic retinopathy were not related to the incidence of bacteriuria. On the other hand, factors such as diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, hypertension, and females, were found statistically to contribute to the development of bacteriuria.
