  • Title: The validity of the leukocyte esterase reagent test strip in detecting significant leukocyturia.
    Author: Marquette GP, Dillard T, Bietla S, Niebyl JR.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1985 Dec 15; 153(8):888-9. PubMed ID: 4073161.
    Abstract:
    This prospective trial demonstrated that the best possible definition for a positive leukocyte esterase test (Chemstrip 9) is + or ++. With use of this definition, the sensitivity in detecting significant leukocyturia is 83% and the specificity is 70%. The use of this test strip could reduce screening costs in registering obstetric patients.
