  • Title: The rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infection: a side-room method.
    Author: Dornfest FD.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1979 Nov 17; 56(21):841-3. PubMed ID: 388679.
    Abstract:
    A controlled trial of a rapid method for microscopic examination of the urine for organisms is reported. The method achieved results as accurate as those of semi-quantitative culture, at minimal cost. It is easy enough to be learned by medically untrained staff, and results are available within 10 minutes. This rapid availability of results makes it possible to prescribe more appropriately at the initial consultation.
