RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 A study of some of the methods of urinary collection in children JF Journal of Clinical Pathology JO J Clin Pathol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Association of Clinical Pathologists SP 81 OP 84 DO 10.1136/jcp.23.1.81 VO 23 IS 1 A1 Conn, Nancy K. YR 1970 UL http://jcp.bmj.com/content/23/1/81.abstract AB 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.
