| The review concludes that antibiotic treatment is effective in clearing bacteriuria, reducing the incidence of pyelonephritis, and reducing the incidence of preterm delivery or low birth weight infants. |
| The specificity of the dipstick test makes it useful for identifying hematuria, pyuria, or bacteriuria. |
| Asymptomatic bacteriuria, gonococcal cervicitis and bacterial vaginosis are strongly associated with preterm delivery. |
| This multicenter trial initially enrolled 421 children who were one to 24 months of age and had a fever and pyuria or bacteriuria in a catheterized urine specimen. |
| All pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria and subsequently treated with antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, sulfisoxazole or cephalexin. |
| All pregnant women, especially those who have diabetes and had a previous UTI, should be screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria during the first prenatal visit. |
