RESUMO
A Coulter Counter was evaluated for detecting significant bacteriuria. Simple urinary particle counts showed agreement in 883 of the 956 (92.4%) urine specimens examined compared to a standard culture procedure. They also provided a semiquantitative estimate of bacterial numbers in specimens diagnosed as infected by culture. Sample preparation before counting was minimal, and results were obtained within two to four minutes.
