French term

BU sang +

French to English Medical Medical (general) Hospital report: Clinical finding on examination of trauma patient
A victim of a road traffic accident has been examined in a Service d'Urgences in France and found to have a compound fracture of the right femur. The casualty officer, obviously thinking about pelvic and abdominal injuries has examined the urine and the report states: "urines non hématurique (sic)." The next bit, on the same line as the aforegoing, says, "BU sang +". On the following lines, the details are about head injuries (all findings negative) so the "BU sang" seems to me to link in with the abdominal and pelvic concerns, though maybe not. I am unable to fathom out what the "BU" refers to and would be grateful for any light cast. Thanks in advance.

Note from asker:
Now that I come to think of it, I have seen the word "bandelette" on one of the dipstick containers. But anyway, my sincere thanks for your help, once again.
