Determining the accuracy of the leukocyte esterase reagent strip test in the rapid diagnosis of adult septic arthritis [PDF]
Advances in RheumatologyBackgrounds Septic arthritis is a dangerous disease that occurs when microorganisms enter synovial fluid. It needs fast and accurate management; otherwise, it can harm the patient’s life. Currently, the tests measure WBC and PMN in SF, so we hypothesized

Diagnosing bacterial peritonitis made easy by use of leukocyte esterase dipsticks.
Int J Crit Illn Inj Sci, 2015 Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) requires rapid diagnosis for the initiation of antibiotics. Its diagnosis is usually based on manual examination of ascitic fluid (AF) having long reporting time. AF infection is diagnosed when the fluid polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) concentration ≥250 cells/mm(3).Aim was to evaluate the diagnostic utility ...
