One hundred and four patients probably having urinary tract infection received both Microstix test and bacteriological examination of the central clinical laboratory. The results of two examinations were comparatively studied. Of 22 definite bacteriuric cases confirmed by the standard quantitative culture to have more than 105/ml of bacteria, 7 (32%) showed negative result in Microstix test. Contrally, of 19 cases showing more than 105/ml of bacteriuria in Microstix test, 4 (21 %) had bacteria of less than 105/ml in the standard quantitative culture. The incidence of false negative results was greater in the group of high pH (7 and more) urine than the group of low pH (6 and less) urine. If limited for the cases having received no antibiotic treatment, the incidence of false negative results further decresed to 8%. The Microstix test can be utilized as a screening test of bacteriuria for the cases having had no antibiotic treatment.
