Hi.... by what you quote (including the Lab reports and cultures), and keeping in mind the fact that she is a female child, the only other possibility which I can suggest is worm infestation. It is very common for the worms to crawl from the perianal region into the urethral opening and cause these symptoms. I suggest you use a course of deworming medication, on suggestion of your pediatrician, as this is a prescription drug.
