I have done a routine urine test. My nitrite level shows positive. What does it mean? Please suggest.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Positive nitrite in urine usually indicates a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), commonly due to E. coli. If you have burning or frequent urination, consult a doctor. Start antibiotics only after doing a Urine Culture. Drink 2 to 3L water daily.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test

My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.
