Complicaciones en embarazo asociadas a infección de vías urinarias.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), with a higher incidence in pregnant women, occur when bacteria enter the bladder or kidney, leading to asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis, and pyelonephritis. This research aims to identify pregnancy complications associated with urinary tract infections by gathering information from scientific sources through a bibliographic, analytical, and quantitative study. Thirteen documents were collected for this research, including 4 from Dialnet, 3 from Scopus, 1 from PubMed, 1 from Redalyc, and 1 from SciELO. After applying the PRISMA method, the results showed a correct follow-up process in 96.2% of pregnancies. The incidence of UTIs was 14%. The most commonly implicated germ was Escherichia coli, with an incidence of over 45%, followed by Klebsiella with 27%. In conclusion, the causative agent of UTIs, E. coli, suggests that ampicillin is the preferred treatment during pregnancy.
