Description
Sinem Kersin and three co-authors tested a fast urine screening tool for infections in newborns and infants in a 2025 study. The tool counts white cells and bacteria by flow, giving a quick read before culture results return. The study used samples sent for culture at a newborn unit and clinic from 2019 to 2021.
In 138 samples from 103 babies, white cell counts did not track infection well. A bacteria cut point gave a sharp test: it caught most true cases and cleared most non-cases, with a very high rate of true negatives. The authors suggest the tool as a screen for babies without clear signs, to speed early care and cut needless treatment.
