This confirms a urinary tract infection. A pediatrician must prescribe antibiotics as per the culture sensitivity. Timely treatment is important to avoid complications. Maintain hygiene. Drink plenty water

What is urine infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father is 63 years old and he has diabetes. Recently we visited his regular diabetic doctor for a check up and at that time he said my father is having infection in urine and due to this he should avoid salty foods and ghee foods. We followed his instructions. But in the past few days he was suffering from cold and fever. Suddenly we could not take him to his regular doctor for a check up so I took him to a nearby clinic and that doctor advised to do a culture test. I got the results today. I would like to know what is in the results. Is the report normal? I am attaching the lab report for reference. Thank you.

My urine report shows that I tested positive for bacteria, and the urine appears hazy. Could you please let me know what this means? Should I be concerned, and what steps should I take next? Is this a serious issue?
