[Bacteriuria screening in gynecologic practice: what is the value of mid-stream urine?].
In 55 healthy women corresponding urine proofs were taken by suprapubic punction and by mid stream technique from the same content of the urinary bladder. For detection or exclusion of bacteriuria both collection-methods are of equal value. In 96% of the cases the microbiological results were corresponding. The leucocyte-count is of no value to detect indirectly a bacteriuria as well in punction- and in mid stream urine. A pathologic count is just as little pathognomonic for infection as a normal count excludes a bacteriuria. Therefore the counting of leucocytes should be given up to the favour of a better microbiological observation in gynecological outpatient departments.
