Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.

Likely due to dehydration or minor UTI. No antibiotics unless symptoms develop. Please do a Urine Culture to confirm. Take this test now.

My 3 years son had sudden fever on Friday night and stomach pain. Fever is coming again after 5 to 6 hours of taking medicine. He vomited once. Today I got his urine report showing Leucocyte Esterase and pus cells 8 to 10. Doctor gave Ziprax. Is it UTI infection? He has no pain while passing urine. Report attached.
