尿液分析是一种新兴的监测野生灵长类动物健康和能量平衡的方法。在这里，我们报告了野生长臂猿的第一次尿检。我们使用多试剂测试条来监测居住在泰国考艾国家公园的52只白色手长臂猿（长臂猿）的健康状况。大多数尿液参考值在正常范围内;然而，无论年龄和性别类别或每月水果产量如何，我们发现尿白细胞的比例出乎意料地高（2001-2003年和2006年分别为50%和90%）。与以前对非洲猿的研究相反，这一发现加上尿亚硝酸盐几乎不存在，表明无菌脓尿的普遍水平。这一结果是野生灵长类种群中首次报道的不育脓尿病例。人类无菌性脓尿的病因是多种多样的，但在所有情况下，它是诊断全身炎症。我们讨论了潜在的原因不育脓尿的长臂猿考艾。Am.

Urinalysis is an emerging method for monitoring the health and energy balance of wild primates. Here, we report the first urinalysis of wild gibbons. We used multi‐reagent test strips to monitor the health status of 52 individual white‐handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) inhabiting Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. Most urinary reference values were within normal ranges; however, regardless of age‐ and sex‐class or monthly fruit productivity, we found unexpectedly high rates of urinary leukocytes (50% and 90% of individuals in 2001–2003 and 2006, respectively). In contrast to previous studies of African apes, this finding is coupled with the near absence of urinary nitrites, demonstrating pervasive levels of sterile pyuria. This result is the first reported case of sterile pyuria in a population of wild primates. The etiology of human sterile pyuria is diverse, but in all cases it is diagnostic of systemic inflammation. We discuss the potential causes of sterile pyuria in the gibbons of Khao Yai. Am. J. Primatol. 71:880–883, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
