title: Antibody-coated bacteria and pregnancy.
abstract: A study is made of 158 pregnant patients, between 3 and 9 months pregnant, in order to determine, by means of urine culture and ACB, the index of subclinical infections during pregnancy involving the renal parenchyma. The conclusion is reached that these infections occur in 4.42% of cases and out of those cases 57.14% were later shown to have an organic pathology of the excretory tracts.
