Asymptomatic bacteriuria as a major criterion of urinary tract infection (UTI) was revealed in 597 (25.6%) of 2.330 rural inhabitants under study. In adults that value (25.3%) appeared to be lower to some extent as compared with children (at age 1 to 14)--27.2% (P>0.5). At the same time asymptomatic bacteriuria occurred reliably more frequent in females as compared with males, 50.3% and 14.7% correspondingly (P<0.001). Use of the asymptomatic bacteriuria sign in epidemiological studies allows to reveal early stages of UTI and carry out prophylactics of the disease timely.
