Abstract The present study was d~signed as an ettempt to find out a rapld and rel.a’::,e method for urine screening and ear~’,Idetection of urinary tract infe:;f,or. compared versus Ir,s ord’lnarY urtne eva’uaMn pro::edures. The study was conducted at CHnical Palho~ugy Department at Bentla Unl\j~r$lty Hospital flnd induded 30 patients, 11 males and 19 females; wi~h age range of 30-7 a years, mean age was a 47.3±11.5 year. Patienls were chosen off tnose attend’,ng the Qlltpatlent clln\c 0’ Urology Departmenl for ’.I~inary tract infe::tion resisting usual treatment and were diagnossd as cases with urlnary tract lnJsctio;\ 10, investi9ations.
