Abstract The paper gives an overview of today's knowledge of urinary tract infection in pregnancy and different treatment procedures. Three different studies of urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnancy and the postpartum period are reported. Urinary screening of 1798 pregnant women showed a cumulative frequency of bacteriuria of 4.8%, recurrent infection in one-fifth of the cases, and pyelonephritis in 0.6%. Chlamydial infection was observed as a cause of dysuria in pregnancy. In the postpartum period bladder bacteriuria was demonstrated in 3.7%. The condition persisted in 27%, while short-course treatment had significant effect.
