    The objective of this study was to validate and determine the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the modified Griess test for detecting nitrite in the urine of women of childbearing age with significant bacteriuria treated at the San Bartolomé Hospital from November 2014 to January 2015. Our research was descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional, as it is a primary validation study that resulted in numerical and descriptive specifications. Results showed 71.6% sensitivity, 99.4% specificity, 94.6% positive predictive value, and 96.3% negative predictive value. We concluded that the modified Griess test is not valid for detecting significant bacteriuria because it is a screening test that needs to have high sensitivity.
