    Abstract:
    Bacteriuria was screened among 28,202 healthy school children, 14,575 boys and 13,627 girls by dipstick and dipslide methods and also by pour plate culture method. Prevalence of bacteriuria was 0.06% in boys and 0.54% in girls after third screening. A high rate of false negative results with dipstick test and a high rate of false positive results with dipslide culture method using Microstix-3 were observed. About 60% of screened children continued to have bacteriuria persistently for 9 months after third screening followed by monthly urine culture. Anomalies of urinary tract were detected in 9 of 26 children with persistent bacteriuria.
