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.

Is it normal to have a 10-12 HPF epithelial cell in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know if my niece is virgin or not. Her urine reports have consistently shown full of pus cells for the past three years.
