TY - JOUR T1 - A study of some of the methods of urinary collection in children JF - Journal of Clinical Pathology JO - J Clin Pathol SP - 81 LP - 84 DO - 10.1136/jcp.23.1.81 VL - 23 IS - 1 AU - Nancy K.

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. ER -
