  • Title: 'Microstix'--a new diagnostic aid.
    Author: Collacott RA.
    Journal: J R Coll Gen Pract; 1977 Feb; 27(175):104-6. PubMed ID: 321768.
    Abstract:
    The usefulness of ;Microstix' as a diagnostic tool in urinary tract infections in general practice has been evaluated. The nitrite component detected only 53 per cent of cases of significant bacteriuria, and gave rise to a nine per cent false positive result. The culture media correctly detected 93 per cent of cases of significant bacteriuria, but this was associated with a false positive result of nine per cent.
