Question 1

My urine culture shows E. coli resistant to many drugs, including ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. However, in a different, well established lab (operating since 1965), the same test done three times shows the bacteria are susceptible to these drugs. Which lab results should I trust? How is it possible to get two different results for the same bacteria? The prior lab used automated sensitivity testing, while the other lab reports in vitro DST results

Question 2

Sir my father is suffering from frequent urination with severe pain in the lower abdomen. His USG KUB report says mild prostatomegaly and post void residual urine is 90 ml. His urine report shows alkaline reaction and albumin present in urine. Sometimes he also has inflammation while urinating?

Question 3

Hi, can someone help me interpret my child urine report? The details are as follows: color pale yellow, appearance clear, volume 20 ml, pH 6.0, specific gravity 1.020, sugar nil, protein nil, ketone bodies nil, bile salts nil, bile pigments negative, pus cells 3 to 4, red blood cells 0 to1, epithelial cells 3 to 5, casts nil, crystals nil, others nil. Please help me understand this report.

Two years ago she was operated for her uterus. She is a high blood pressure patient. She is suffering from knee and leg pain because she is an arthritis patient. I have attached her urine culture test report. Please suggest any medicine?

If urine culture is normal, leg pain is likely arthritis related. Continue BP and arthritis meds, monitor kidney health regularly.
