Question
My daughter is 9 months pregnant. Her recent urine test shows: Epithelial cells: 20/hpf WBC: 40/hpf Other parameters: normal Does she need antibiotics at this stage, especially since her due date is near?

Elevated WBC and epithelial cells suggest a possible UTI. Since delivery is near, consult doctor promptly, antibiotics may be needed to prevent complications.
