چکیده

Diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) is primarily done by microbiologic culture, which is time-consuming and can produce false-positives and false-negatives. Flow cytometry allows for rapid screening of many samples and eliminates culturing. We analyzed the Sysmex UF-1000i (TOA Medical Electronics, Kobe, Japan) for accuracy in identifying RBCs and WBCs, casts, bacteria, and epithelia. We also evaluated its precision, linear estimation of results, carryover contamination rate, and anti-interference. UF-1000i agreement with manual counting was approximately 95% for RBCs and WBCs, epithelia, and casts. Its coefficient of variation for bacteria ranged from 4.7% to 15.2%. UF-1000i screening for UTIs exhibited great sensitivity (97%), specificity (79%), positive predictive value (70%), negative predictive value (99%), and accuracy (85%). The negative predictive value remained high even with complex UTI samples. The Sysmex UF-1000i shows great promise in excluding more than 50% of true-negative samples, improving detection efficiency, and reducing laboratory costs.

Evaluation and optimization of the Sysmex UF1000i system for the screening of urinary tract infection in primary health care elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem in the elderly population. Urine culture is still considered the "gold standard" to diagnose infection in this population. However, urine cultures are laborious and costly, and most samples will yield no growth. METHODS An evaluation was made of the Sysmex UF-1000i flow cytometer as a screening tool for UTI in an elderly populatio...

[Modifying cutoff values of the UF 1000i(®) automated urine analyzer to predict urinary tract infection].

The fundamental advantage of using automated urine analyzers lies in the current grouping of laboratories as technical divisions. The UF1000i(®) Biomérieux is a 2(nd) generation automated urine analyzer which uses fluorescence flow cytometry to count the particles and bacteria present in urine. It also provides a prediction indicator for the urinary tract infection, based on the leukocyte and b...

Diagnostic value of radioisotopic cystography in evaluation of VUR in children with urinary tract infection [Persian]

Radioisotope scanning is very important in evaluation, diagnosis and proper treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) because of high sensitivity of this technique and less radiation dose delivered to the patients. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the frequency VUR in a group of children aged 28 days to 14 years referred to our depa...

Rapid Discrimination of Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria in Liquid Samples by Using NaOH-Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Solution and Flow Cytometry

BACKGROUND For precise diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI), and selection of the appropriate prescriptions for their treatment, we explored a simple and rapid method of discriminating gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in liquid samples. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We employed the NaOH-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution conventionally used for plasmid extraction from Esche...

Evaluation of the Sysmex UF-100 urine cell analyzer as a screening test to reduce the need for urine cultures for community-acquired urinary tract infection.

We evaluated the UF-100 flow cytometer (TOA Medical Electronics, Kobe, Japan) as a screening test for community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) to reduce the need for bacterial cultures. By comparing the test results for 330 urine samples with quantitative urine cultures, we established cutoff criteria for the UF-100. To rule out hospital-acquired UTI, all urine samples were from new pat...
