For the study of leukocyte metabolism in the serum and the urine from 52 patients with urinary infections, the Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) test was used for a qualitative estimation of leukocyturia. It was observed that 26 of the 52 patients (50%) presented higher values of NBT positive urinary neutrophils than in the control group. The NBT test might be useful in the estimation of the cellular immune response in the course of urinary infections.
为研究52例尿路感染患者血清和尿液中的白细胞代谢，采用硝基四氮唑蓝（NBT）试验对白细胞尿进行定性评估。观察到52例患者中有26例（50%）的NBT阳性尿中性粒细胞值高于对照组。NBT试验可能有助于评估尿路感染过程中的细胞免疫反应。
