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.

I recently underwent dental treatment and took antibiotics during that time. I have also had a semen analysis, which showed 24 to 26 pus cells. Could taking antibiotics have caused the increase in pus cells in my semen?

I recently got a urine test done for my grandmother. The report shows full/high pus cells and 4 to 6 epithelial cells per HPF. Could you please explain what this indicates and if any further action or treatment is needed?
