One hundred forty-one children were selected from a clinic for children with recurrent bacteriuria to participate in a home culturing program. The parent was taught to employ a semiquantitative method to test the child's urine for bacteria. The degree and persistence of bacteriuria as detected by the parent strongly correlated with results obtained in the clinic, although there was a significant incidence of false-positive results as detected by the parent. Home culturing proved to be an inexpensive, reliable technique for following up children with recurrent urinary tract infections.
从一家治疗复发性菌尿症儿童的诊所选取了141名儿童参与一项家庭培养计划。家长们学习了使用半定量方法检测孩子尿液中的细菌。家长检测出的菌尿程度和持续性与诊所检测结果密切相关，不过家长检测出的假阳性结果发生率较高。家庭培养被证明是一种跟踪患有复发性尿路感染儿童的廉价且可靠的技术。
