SUMMARY— The results of a simple stick test for the detection of urinary leucocyte esterase are compared with the findings from conventional examination of 150 cytoscopic specimens of urine. The test was found to indicate the presence of significant numbers of white cells in urine with accuracy, and its relevance to urological surgery is discussed.
