摘要

Automated flow cytometry of urine remains an incompletely validated method to rule out urinary tract infection (UTI) in children. This cross-sectional analytical study was performed to compare the predictive values of flow cytometry and a dipstick test as initial diagnostic tests for UTI in febrile children and prospectively included 1,106 children (1,247 episodes). Urine culture was used as the gold standard test for diagnosing UTI. The performance of screening tests to diagnose UTI were established using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Among these 1,247 febrile episodes, 221 UTIs were diagnosed (17.7 95 confidence interval {CI}, 15.6 to 19.8). The area under the ROC curve for flow cytometry white blood cell (WBC) counts (0.99 95 CI, 0.98 to 0.99) was significantly superior to that for red blood cell (0.74 95 CI, 0.70 to 0.78) and bacterial counts (0.89 95 CI, 0.87 to 0.92) (P = 35 WBC/mu l of urine was the best cutoff point, yielding both a high sensitivity (99.5 95 CI, 99 to 100) and an acceptable specificity (80.6 95 CI, 78 to 83). Using this cutoff point would have reduced the number of samples sent to the laboratory for culture by 67. In conclusion, the determination of urinary WBC counts by flow cytometry provides optimal performance as an initial diagnostic test for UTI in febrile children.
