Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Presence of significant pus cells in urinalysis suggests that he is suffering from Urinary tract infection. It may or may not show any symptoms. One of the possibility for the infection to persist even after the usage of antibiotics may be resistance to the antibiotics used. Along with ultrasound, he may need a test called urine culture and sensitivity with which we can find out the antibiotics for which he is sensitive and resistant. Then the appropriate sensitive antibiotics can be started with doctor's advice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
