Overview
Screening is not done for Cystitis in normal population. Though Pregnancy is an indication for screening for the presence of bacteria in the urine as this may require treatment as an aggressive approach unlike other settings where bacteria are found in the urine of an asymptomatic, non-pregnant woman.[1]
Screening
Screening is recommended to detect bacterial presence in the urine of pregnant women. Presence of bacteria in the urine in pregnancy has significance in that it is always teated unlike asymptomatic non-pregnant population and that the choice of treatment should not have adverse effects on the foetus or the mother. Urine Culture is done to screen this population for bacterial presence.[1][2]
