The asymptomatic bacteriuria in the patients with epilepsy: A cross-sectional study
The prevalence of ASB is elevated in epilepsy, with identified risk factors including gender (female), proteinuria, and the use of the anti-seizure medication oxcarbazepine. Lamotrigine was found to be protective. These findings underscore the importance of clinician awareness, and careful monitoring of anti-seizure medication therapy.
