%0 Journal Article %A Nancy K. Conn %T A study of some of the methods of urinary collection in children %D 1970 %R 10.1136/jcp.23.1.81 %J Journal of Clinical Pathology %P 81-84 %V 23 %N 1 %X Three methods of urine collection used currently in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in children were studied. One hundred and fifty-two hospital patients were investigated: 92 by clean-catch method, 32 by the adhesive plastic bag technique, and 28 by suprapubic bladder aspiration. Results indicate that in the great majority of children a satisfactory diagnosis can be made on bacteriological grounds by the examination of specimens passed naturally and collected with care. In a minority of cases further investigation by such means as bladder aspiration may be indicated and this gives conclusive results. %U https://jcp.bmj.com/content/jclinpath/23/1/81.full.pdf
