Home follow-up of urinary tract infection. Comparison of two nonculture techniques
J. K. Todd
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.
