The urinary tract infection is one of the most frequent infectious diseases, it has great implications in pregnant women because have a higher risk of secondary complications due to the physiological changes inherent in pregnancy. Objective: To characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of pregnant women diagnosed with urinary tract infection. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out, using medical records of pregnant patients between the years 2017-2020, according the inclusion criteria to be used during the present study; At the end of the information collection, it was converted into a database for the extraction of elements that allows its analysis. Results and conclusions: 112 medical records that met the eligibility criteria were included, finding that of the patients with a urine culture the most frequently isolated microorganism was Escherichia coli in 34.8%. The median days of in-hospital management in this study was 3 days, explained by the time it takes to obtain the urine culture result to define antibiotic sensitivity. Of the patients managed with aztreonam, only one required scaling antibiotic treatment.
