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.

High pus cells suggest infection, but no growth may indicate prior antibiotic effect or sterile inflammation. Continue antibiotics as prescribed and repeat urine test after 3 days.

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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Severe back pain with burning sensation while passing urine. It started with clotted blood in urine and drops of blood. Urine report says pus cells 200 to 300 per high power field and occult blood present?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Pus cells are absent in urine, does this mean there are any chances that pus cells can be present in stool. I have a normal urine report.
