Detection of bacteriuria and pyuria by URISCREEN a rapid enzymatic screening test.
A multicenter study was performed to evaluate the ability of the URISCREEN (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.), a 2-min catalase tube test, to detect bacteriuria and pyuria. This test was compared with the Chemstrip LN (BioDynamics, Division of Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Ind.), a 2-min enzyme dipstick test; a semiquantitative plate culture method was used as the reference t...

متن کاملA study of pyuria, bacteriuria, nitriteuria to evaluate initial screening test for urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infection (UTI). a common ailment in children, women and elderly people is associated with pyuria, bacteriuria and nitriteuria . Its diagnosis, based on urine culture with significant bacteriuria, needs a good microbiological laboratory and trained microbiologist. Such facility is only available in urban areas of developing countries. Therefore, for rural areas, a simple and cost ...
متن کاملLeucocyte esterase - nitrite screening method for pyuria and bacteriuria EGL
The value of the one minute leucocyte esterase-nitrite chemical strips as a screening procedure for detecting appreciable levels of pyuria and bacteriuria was assessed by comparison with microscopy and culture results. The likelihood that a negative leucocyte esterase result indicated < 10 white cells/cu mm by microscopy (the negative predictive value), was 90 1% and that a negative nitrite res...
