A study was performed to evaluate the leukocyte esterase test and the test for urinary nitrite as screening tests for bacteriuria. A total of 518 clinical urine specimens were tested with both tests and compared with a semiquantitative plate culture method. The leukocyte esterase-nitrite combination had a sensitivity of 91.3%, a specificity of 67.4% and a negative predictive value of a negative test of 95.6% for specimens with one or two potential pathogens with colony counts of more than 105 CFU/ml.Th e performance of leukocyte esterase test in tandem with the nitrite test resulted in a screening test combination that was significantly better than either test alone.
