Introduction: Diabetes is one of the modern-day epidemics with a spectrum of complications. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common among patients with diabetes, and often it goes unnoticed in the initial period, which can later lead to complications. This study was planned to find out the magnitude of the problem of bacteriuria among diabetics and to look for its associated factors in diabetics. Methodology: A hospital-based study recruiting 100 eligible diabetics consecutively over a period of one year. Socio-demographic data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, and clinical examinations with relevant investigations were done. Informed written consent was taken. Results: Bacteriuria was found in 43 out of 100 participants. Prevalence was significantly more among females (54%) as compared to males (32%). Factors like poor glycaemic control, complications like neuropathy, diabetic foot were significantly associated with bacteriuria. E Coli was the most common bacterial isolate. Conclusion: Urinary tract infection is common in diabetic patients, especially females, and other clinical factors like uncontrolled sugar levels also play a role. |
