Abstract

Urine microscopy, whether done by Gram stain, concentrated wet-mount, or automated microscopy, is an attractive diagnostic procedure because of its rapidity and potential for narrowing the differential to particular kinds of infectious etiologies. This chapter reviews the performance characteristics of microscopic examination in the case of typical uropathogens as well as special cases such as fungal and parasitic infections of the urinary tract.

Bacteria

Urinalysis

Zika Virus

Asymptomatic bacteriuria

Parasites
