    (Afr J Lab Med, 2018-02-09) Nabaigwa, Barbara I; Mwambi, Bashir; Okiria, John; Oyet, Caesar
    Between June 2015 and October 2015, 159 mid-stream urine samples from diabetic patients were cultured. The prevalence of urinary tract infection was high at 22% and women were more affected compared with men (P = 0.017). Factors associated with urinary tract infection in these patients were age, sex and high blood glucose levels. Diabetic patients should be screened periodically for urinary tract infection.
