ABSTRACT

Introduction. The presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is common during menopause, increases progressively with age, and has a higher incidence in patients with urinary incontinence and institutionalized. The predisposing factors are: lack of estrogen, cystocele, uterine prolapse, residual urine and urinary incontinence. Objective. To determine the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in postmenopausal patients. Material and methods. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study during the period comprised from January 1st to June 30th 2011; in patients from the Hospital Menopause Clinic for Women, Ministry of Health, Mexico City. Results. 231 patients, age 50.16 ± 6.7 years. 9.5% incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Microbiological profile prevalent: 77.2% Escherichia coli , 18.1% Staphylococcus coagulase -positive, 4.5% Staphylococcus coagulase -negative. Conclusions. The incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in these patients was high. The higher incidence organism isolated was Escherichia coli .
