Abstract
While opportunistic infections in human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals
are extensively studied, very limited data are available
on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in HIV patients.[1] We
evaluated the usefulness of rapid urine dipstick tests
and microscopy for detecting bacteriuria against urine
culture in HIV setting and investigated if these rapid
screening tests could replace urine culture, thereby,
reducing the costs and time for laboratory diagnosis.
