Sterile pyuria
- Sterile pyuria
- Definitions
- Pyuria: the presence of 10 or more white cells per cubic millimeter in a urine specimen, 3 or more white cells per high-power field of unspun urine, a positive result on Gram’s stain of an unspun urine specimen, or a urinary dipstick test that is positive for leukocyte esterase
- Sterile pyuria: the persistent finding of white cells in the urine in the absence of bacteria, as determined by means of aerobic laboratory techniques (on a 5% sheep-blood agar plate and MacConkey agar plate)
- Bacteriuria: bacterial colony counts of more than 1000 colony-forming units (CFU) per milliliter in urine
