Pus cells greater than 10/hpf in pregnancy likely indicate UTI, which can harm both mother and fetus. Start antibiotics after a urine culture. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor fever or abdominal pain. Please take a Urine Culture immediately.

What is the treatment for pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My 9 month old daughter routine urine test showed 500 pus cells per hpf. A follow up urine culture showed occasional white blood cells per hpf but no bacterial growth after two days of incubation. What should be the next steps? Currently, she is taking Levomac, Zifi, Maxtra, and Econorm, and I am giving her a liquid diet along with breastfeeding.
