Diagnostic accuracy of a rapid immunoassay for point of-care detection of urinary tract infection in dogs
Jacob, M. E., Crowell, M. D., Fauls, M. B., Griffith, E. H., & Ferris, K. K. (2016, February 1). American Journal of Veterinary Research, Vol. 77, pp. 162–166.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacterial Infections / diagnosis; Bacterial Infections / veterinary; Dog Diseases / diagnosis; Dogs; Immunoassay / methods; Immunoassay / veterinary; Point-of-Care Systems; Sensitivity and Specificity; Urinary Tract Infections / diagnosis; Urinary Tract Infections / veterinary
topics (OpenAlex): Veterinary Medicine and Surgery; Veterinary Oncology Research; Veterinary Equine Medical Research
TL;DR:
The RIA test evaluated in this study accurately detected UTI of dogs, compared with detection with the criterion-referenced bacterial culture method, and could allow clinicians to diagnose UTI at the time of a patient visit and provide information useful for immediately initiating empirical antimicrobial treatment.
