Screening Urine with a Leukocyte Esterase Strip and Subsequent Chlamydial Testing of Asymptomatic Men Attending Primary Care Practitioners

Abstract

In this low prevalence, primary care setting, the LE urine strip was an accurate screening test, which if used to preselect urine specimens for subsequent chlamydial testing, would be less costly per case detected than assaying each specimen for chlamydia.
