We investigated the correlation between fecal leukocyte esterase (FLE) and fecal calprotectin (FC) levels and compared manual with machine automated interpretation of FLE level.enFecal calprotectin; Fecal leukocyte esterase; Inflammatory bowel disease[SDGs]SDG3A simplified fecal leukocyte esterase strip test results as a low cost, widely available, alternative bowel inflammation biomarkerjournal article10.1016/j.jfma.2024.01.025383316362-s2.0-85184605605
