A review of UTI in pregnancy reported that:
- The incidence of asymptomatic bacteruria (presence of bacteria in urine without symptoms) is 2-10%,
- The incidence of acute cystitis (infection of the bladder) is in the range of 1-4% and
- 20-40% of the women with asymptomatic bacteruria develop pyelonephritis (infection of the kidney) later in pregnancy.
