  • Title: [Evaluation of a screening test for urinary infection].
    Author: Audurier A, Burdin JC, Darbas H, Kohler F, Laudat P, Mayeux D, Pavis A.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1988 Sep; 36(7):921-4. PubMed ID: 3059278.
    Abstract:
    The interest of using a reagent strip (Multistix-8 SG, Ames, Miles Laboratories) as a screen for urinary tract infection was evaluated in a clinical study involving several sites and 2,183 adult urine specimens of which 340 were infected. The results are expressed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, predictive value of a negative and positive test. The predictive value of a negative test for nitrites in combination with leucocytes (97.5%) justifies the use of the reagent strip in eliminating non-infected urine.
