Abstract

Abstract:Currently, premature birth is categorized as a problem at a global level, but especially in developing countries, with a multiple etiological variety and risk factors, among which we highlight urinary tract infection (UTI). In order to determine the prevalence of UTI during the second and third trimester of pregnancy and risk of premature delivery in patients of the hospital "Manuel Ygnacio Monteros Valdivieso" in the period 2011 - 2017; A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out, as a sample was obtained (n = 357) patients, the same ones that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the review of their clinical history. 70.3% recorded a history of UTI with a high correlation with preterm birth in the second trimester; 29 patients underwent urine culture with positive results for Echerichia coli in 72.4% (n = 21). UTI has a high prevalence in preterm birth and in the second trimester the history of this pathology is recorded more frequently.
