Quigley R - Although culture of the urine remains the gold standard for diagnosing and treating urinary tract infections, technical considerations including method of collection of the urine as well as the time necessary for culture results remain problematic. More rapid techniques include dipstick analyses for the presence of leukocyte esterase or nitrites, microscopic analysis for white blood cells or bacteria, and automated urine cell analyzer to determine bacterial and white blood cell counts in the urine. Recent results indicate it is possible to limit the number of urine cultures performed by eliminating those that have a low probability of being positive.
