It is recommended that all pregnant women be screened for the presence of bacteriuria at their first prenatal visit because as many as one third will experience a recurrence of urinary tract infections.About:

Asymptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary tract infections in pregnancy
J. Schnarr,Fiona Smaill +1 more
TL;DR: Antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is associated with a decrease in the incidence of low birth weight, but the methodological quality of the studies limits the strength of the conclusions that can be drawn.

MRI of Acute Abdominal and Pelvic Pain in Pregnant Patients
Katherine R. Birchard,Michele A. Brown,Michele A. Brown,W. Brian Hyslop,Zeynep Firat,Richard C. Semelka +5 more
TL;DR: The intrinsic safety of MRI and its ability to accurately show abdominal and pelvic disease in pregnant patients make it highly useful in the evaluation of these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary Tract Infections
TL;DR: Efforts should be made not to detect or treat asymptomatic bacteriuria and funguria; to ensure an appropriate duration of therapy for symptomatic infections; and to limit the use of broad-spectrum agents, especially fluoroquinolones, if narrower spectrum agents are available.

The occurrence of preterm delivery is linked to pregnancy-specific distress and elevated inflammatory markers across gestation.
Mary E. Coussons-Read,Marci Lobel,J. Chris Carey,Marianne O. Kreither,Kimberly L. D’Anna,Laura M. Argys,R.G. Ross,Chandra Brandt,S. Cole +8 more
TL;DR: Data provide strong evidence that prenatal stress experiences can affect the timing of parturition via alterations in circulating inflammatory mediators, and underscore the need for ongoing research aimed at further understanding the mechanisms and effects of prenatal stress on maternal and infant health.

Pre-eclampsia: fitting together the placental, immune and cardiovascular pieces†
TL;DR: It is becoming clear that the development of early‐ and late‐onset pre‐eclampsia, as well as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), does not necessarily arise from the same underlying pathology.

Meta-analysis of the relationship between asymptomatic bacteriuria and preterm delivery/low birth weight.
TL;DR: Clinical and epidemiologic evidence indicates a strong association between untreated asymptomatic bacteriuria and LBW/preterm delivery and that antibiotic treatment is effective in reducing the occurrence of LBW.

The localization and treatment of urinary tract infections: the role of bactericidal urine levels as opposed to serum levels.

Pyelonephritis and bacteriuria. A major problem in preventive medicine.
TL;DR: The very fact that this equilibrium is constantly operative and constantly subject to change makes it especially likely that autochthonous organisms will be associated with chronic infections as well as with acute symptomatic disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary tract infection during pregnancy: its association with maternal morbidity and perinatal outcome.
TL;DR: Findings underscore the importance of antepartum urine screening to identify patients at risk for adverse outcomes and highlight the need for routine screening for urinary tract infection-associated perinatal death.
