As some countries begin to lift their coronavirus lockdown measures, public places have been getting creative to adjust to social distancing guidelines.

From waiters wearing personal protective equipment to schools using plastic dividers between children, these photos show the world is adjusting to life under the coronavirus pandemic.

Automated Urinalysis and Urine Dipstick in the Emergency Evaluation of Young Febrile Children

Urinary tract infection is the most common serious bacterial illness among febrile infants and young children. Automated urine cytometry may supplant traditional urinalysis, but diagnostic performance at unique pediatric cutpoints has not been described for this labor-saving technique.

We describe new, clinically useful cutpoints for automated leukocyte and bacterial counts. The sensitivity and specificity of bacterial counts ≥250 cells/μL exceed those of other methods. However, point-of-care dipstick tests for leukocyte esterase or nitrite have acceptable performance. (Read the full article)

Diagnostic Accuracy of the Urinalysis for Urinary Tract Infection in Infants <3 Months of Age

The sensitivity of the urinalysis (UA) traditionally has been considered suboptimal in young infants. Whether the finding of a negative UA and a positive urine culture represents a false-negative UA versus a false-positive urine culture remains unclear.

In infants <3 months with bacteremic urinary tract infection, a condition that represents true infection, the UA sensitivity is higher than previously reported for urinary tract infection in general, suggesting that the UA is reliable even in young infants. (Read the full article)
