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.

Is it okay to get 10-12 pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine test report shows PUS cells 5 to 6 per high power field. My doctor told me that I have a urinary tract infection. Please suggest the procedure to treat this disease and also let me know if there is any risk factor?

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.
