Overall, cytology is poorly sensitive but highly specific for the detection of bacterial infection in fluid samples. The results from this study will allow a better comparison between the diagnostic accuracy of cytology and emerging diagnostic tests for the detection of bacterial sepsis in mammalian patients.
