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...
