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.

Diabetic patients are prone to recurrent UTIs. Fever and new symptoms after culture require urgent attention. Interpretation depends on sensitivity patterns. You must take a Urine Culture and CBC to identify infection severity and treat accordingly.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Urine Culture Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
