title: Bacteriuria in Black diabetics.
abstract: Urine of 198 diabetics and 147 non-diabetics was examined for bacteriuria by means of the Uricult dip slide method. Prevalence of bacteriuria in diabetics (18,7%) was significantly higher than in the control group (7,6%). This increased prevalence in diabetics was due primarily to an exceedingly high prevalence in diabetic women (27%). There was no relation between bacteriuria and age, duration of diabetes, treatment for diabetes, quality of control of diabetes, symptoms of urinary tract infection or hypertension.
