[Semiquantitative determination of leukocyturia, a necessary complement to urine culture].
The authors used a strip-test (Cytur-test) for the semiquantitative assay of leukocytes in the urines: they also did a cultural examination and an assay of antimicrobial power (PAR-test). Or the whole of 2613 urines they found 931 specimens (35.6%) with a number of leukocytes higher than 10/microliters; the 44.7% of these came out negative of the bacterial research. The Cytur-test proved to be an important method in the diagnosis of pathologic leukocyturia in the screening of urines because of its convenience and rapidity.
