Dipstick screening for urinary tract infection in febrile infants.
OBJECTIVE This study compares the performance of urine dipstick alone with urine microscopy and with both tests combined as a screen for urinary tract infection (UTI) in febrile infants aged 1 to 90 days. METHODS We queried the Intermountain Healthcare data warehouse to identify febrile infants with urine dipstick, microscopy, and culture performed between 2004 and 2011. UTI was defined as >5...
متن کاملFPIN's clinical inquiries. Dipstick urinalysis for the diagnosis of acute UTI.
Evidence-Based Answer Approximately two-thirds of women who present with classic symptoms of acute UTI have bacterial infection of the bladder.1 Dipstick urinalysis moderately improves the accuracy of clinical symptoms in establishing or excluding acute UTI in women. (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: A, based on systematic reviews of cross-sectional studies and a validated clinical decision ru...
متن کاملEvaluation of a newly developed dipstick test for the rapid diagnosis of scrub typhus in febrile patients.
Scrub typhus is a potentially fatal, febrile disease prevalent in rural Asia. The etiological agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi, is transmitted to humans by the bite of a larval trombiculid mite. No current diagnostic test is sufficiently practical for use by physicians working in rural areas. A new dipstick test using a dot blot immunoassay format has been developed for the serodiagnosis of scrub ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a dipstick test for glucose in urine.
As an example of qualitative tests, a dipstick analysis for glucose in urine has been tested for the influence of modifying factors on the test result. Two different types of dipsticks were examined, "Clinistix" and "S-Gluko-test." Used according to manufacturer's instructions, the latter is more sensitive and selective. By multivariance analysis the following variables were examined: urine sam...
متن کاملNucleic acid dipstick test for molecular diagnosis of pandemic H1N1.
A new nucleic acid amplification-based rapid test for diagnosis of pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 virus was developed. The molecular test for pandemic H1N1, SAMBA (simple amplification-based assay), is based on isothermal amplification and visual detection on a dipstick characterized by high sensitivity, high specificity, a short turnaround time, and minimal technical requirements. The amplific...
