Comparison of Two Nonculture Techniques

James K. Todd, MD

Am J Dis Child. 1977;131(8):860-861.

Abstract
• Thirty children with recurrent urinary tract infection were followed up at home by their parents, using urine nitrite and urine glucose bacteruria detection methods. Their results were compared with traditional clinic culture techniques. The home testing chemical methods proved to be more effective than office cultures in detecting children with recurrent infections with a considerable saving in cost and inconvenience.
