Abstract
The study evaluated the usefulness of the leukocyte esterase and nitrite reagent strip tests in a general hospital as a screening test to detect significant urinary tract Infections in urine of Korean women and correlated the fmdings with bacterial culture, leukocyte esterase and nitrite results. A total of 689 urine samples were reviewed. 254 positive cultures (36.8%) were found, of which 190 (74.8%) were detected by leukocyte esterase-nitrite test. In addition, 357 of 372 (96%) urine samples with negative bacterial cultures were negative in leukocyte esterase and nitrite tests. The results of studies was the sensitivity (74.8%), specificity (95.2%), positive predictive value (92.6%), and negative predictive value was still 84.7% and was comparable to that found in previous studies.
