ABSTRACT
To correlate the incidence of bacteriuria with duration of catheterization, 600 urine sample from patients catheterized for various duration were taken. The frequency of bacteriuria was 21.50% with catheter duration of 1-3 days, 62.43% with catheter duration of 4-7 days, 75.26% with catheter duration of 8-14 days and 91.26% with catheter duration of more than 14 days. The frequency of bacteriuria in female patients was significantly higher [74.13%] than in male patients [65.19%] [P< .05] during short term catheterization [4-7 days]
