Abstract
Prediction of urinary tract infection in pregnancy by bacteriuria testing is unsatisfactory; if resources are short, the taking of a careful history of previous urinary tract infection is almost as effective. Restriction of bacteriuria testing to the women with such a history would be more economical than routine testing and would give better specificity (but not sensitivity) than bacteriuria testing or history taking alone.Keywords
