Evaluation of Questor urine screening system for bacteriuria and pyuria.
AIMS To evaluate the Questor automated bacteriuria and pyuria screening system; to compare its performance with that of a reference method; and to assess its usefulness in a routine clinical laboratory. METHODS The Questor urine screening system was compared with a comprehensive regimen to detect urinary tract infection, using pour-plate viable counts to determine the numbers of bacteria pres...
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...

متن کاملEvaluation of dipstrips, direct gram stain and pyuria as screening tests for the detection of bacteriuria.
Two hundred and fifty cases of clinically suspected urinary tract infection were analysed for the detection of bacteriuria. Parameters studied included direct Gram staining, pyuria on microscopic examination of uncentrifuged urine and dip strip method for the detection of blood, protein, nitrite and leucocyte esterase. Significant bacteriuria (colony count 10(5) per ml) was found in 112 cases w...
متن کاملPyuria and bacteriuria.
Urinary tract infection in childhood has long been recognized as a far from benign condition, yet the criteria for diagnosing such a condition are by no means uniform. While the final diagnosis rests on bacteriological evidence, the interpretation of significant bacteriuria in paediatric practice is particularly difficult. Various screening tests have been designed of which urine microscopy in ...
