METHODS FOR URINE COLLECTION
• • • • •
Mid-stream urine Self adhesive urine bag “Clean” catch Bladder catheterization Suprapubic aspiration (SPA)

2
Mid-stream urine
• 108 cfu/L (105 cfu/mL) • contamination • sensitivity / specificity trade off • Void on request

Bag urine
Prof Mike South
UTI for Residents
3
Bag urine
• High rate of contamination (>50%) • Very poor predictive power for UTI • Should not be used to diagnose UTI • May have role in excluding UTI in low-risk situations

Accuracy of clean-catch urine collection in infancy
Journal of Pediatrics
December 1999 • Volume 135 • Number 6 • p765 to p767
Paired CCU and SPA • 80% success in 1 hour with correct technique • A false-positive rate of 5%

Catheter Specimen
• Significant contamination rates (unknown) • Poor predictive power for UTI (unknown) • ? CFU cut-off
(RCH handbook 105 cfu/L)
• One paired SPA/CSU study from 1959. “Cultures correlated”

Suprapubic aspirate
Pros • Very low contamination rate • High predictive power for UTI
Cons • Success rate ~50%

RESULTS
Blind Total (n) Success 36 44%
Ultrasound 39 79% *

SPA vs CSU
Diagnostic confidence
SPA Gold standard
CSU OK if heavy pure growth with supportive WCC Many cultures indeterminate
Complications
Haematuria (benign) Bowel perforation (benign)
Haematuria (benign) Urethral trauma UTI
