title: Incidence and spontaneous resolution of postpartum bacteriuria.
abstract: On the first postpartum day, 53 patients (17.2 per cent) had asymptomatic bacteriuria. Spontaneous resolution of bacteriuria occurred in 40 (75.5 per cent) of the 53 patients by the third postpartum day--the most appropriate time to identify patients with true asymptomatic bacteriuria.
