Abstract
A method for the assessment of bacteriuria and pyuria includes the simultaneous detection and quantitation of microorganisms, leukocytes and squamous epithelial cells in a urine specimen. The three cell types are stained with a fluorescent dye, and the urine specimen is analyzed directly, preferably by a single flow microfluorometry protocol.
