I had a UTI and was treated with cefixime 400 mg twice a day for 7 days. Here are the results of my repeat urinalysis: color yellow, transparency slightly turbid, specific gravity 1.010, reaction pH 5.0, sugar/albumin/protein negative, WBC pus cells 8 to 12 hpf, RBC 0 to 2 hpf, epithelial cells moderate, and bacteria few. What does this mean?

Mild elevation of pus cells can remain after UTI treatment. If youre symptom free, no further treatment is needed. Hydration and hygiene help. Recheck if symptoms recur.

My urine test report shows pus cells 50 to 60, leucocyte esterase positive +++, epithelial cells 18 to 20, and pap smear shows inflammatory cervix smear (dense). What does this mean?
