Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The study was conducted in the department of Microbiology, Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, to assess whether urine microscopy is effective enough to diagnose urinary tract infection or not. The retrospective study conducted in patients coming to Microbiology Lab reveals that out of 600 patients enrolled in the study in 2 months (January 2013 to March 2013), the results obtained from the urine microscopy is not less better than the results obtained from the urine culture.
