The urines of 3,270 asymptomatic girls were screened at annual physical examinations. The urines were collected in Dixie Cups® without prior prepara tion of the perineum and cultured on 5% sheep cell agar. Less than 2 per cent of the specimens showed significant growth, thus requiring no follow-up visits by 98 per cent of the patients. Slightly less that 1/2 of one per cent were found to have asymptomatic urinary tract infections. The procedure was found to be practical, economically feasible and reliable, and was well accepted by both the parents and patients.
