Terminology
Pyuria:
> 10 cells/HPF of centrifuged urine sample.
Bacteriuria:
Bacteria in bladder urine. Growth of 100,000 colony-forming units (CFU) in freshly voided urine mostly used as the cutoff point between contamination and true bacteriuria.
Diagnosis of UTI
Urine culture.
Urine analysis.
Enzymatic tests. Others.
