“…That the sedimentation of leucocytes is an inadequate method (Linneweh, 1958) is a view supported by many authors (Stansfeld, 1962; McGeachie and Kennedy, 1963;Osborn and Smith, 1963;Pryles and Eliot, 1966), yet the centrifuged deposit is still widely used: the present observations provide further evidence for its abandonment.…”

“…It is not the purpose of this paper to compare the relative importance of pyuria and bacteriuria in the diagnosis of urinary infection, but only to evaluate the two techniques used to measure pyuria in this circumstance. Stansfeld and Webb (1953), Linneweh (1958), and Zapp and Jung (1963) all made this comparison and obtained different results. Pryles and Eliot (1966) found the discrepancy so great that they concluded that.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
