      Abstract: We tested 91 asymptomatic adolescent male detainees in a short-stay detention facility in Seattle, Washington for the presence of leukocyte esterase in first-catch urine and for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. C. trachomatis was isolated from 10 subjects (11 per ¢) and N. gonorrhoeae from five (5 per ¢). Dipsticks detected leukocyte esterase in the urine of all 15 subjects with either infection and of 13 subjects with neither infection. Detection of leukocyte esterase was 100 per ¢ sensitive, 83 per ¢ specific, and 54 per ¢ predictive for the presence of either organism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
