Pyuria 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 ...
متن کاملSimplified quantitative methods for bacteriuria and pyuria.
Although pyelonephritis is a common disease, it escapes clinical detection in an undesirably high proportion of patients. The present unsatisfactory diagnostic position would be much improved by widespread screening of patients by simple yet reasonably accurate methods. Bacterial counts by the pour-plate technique and estimates of the white cell excretion per hour or day, while undoubtedly of d...
متن کاملPyuria as predictor of bacteriuria in catheterized patients.
Six hundred and nine urine samples were analyzed for pyuria to assess its efficacy as a predictor of bacteriuria, in catheterized patients, using different techniques of pus cells estimation. In 235 and 323 urine samples, pus cells were counted per high power field in centrifuged and uncentrifuged urine respectively, while in 51 urine samples pus cells were counted per cubic millimeter in uncen...
متن کاملEvaluation 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...
