The most obvious indicator of bacterial infection in the urine is the presence of bacteria; this is often quantified in terms of the number of pus cells in the urine.

Hi, I have attached my thyroid and urine reports. In the urine report, it shows 6 to 8 pus cells. Is this normal, or does it indicate an infection that requires treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
