Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
- Actually examination of urine once is not reliable.. two or three samples of urine being normal exclude urinary infection.
- Other causes of such report are .. urine contaminated with vaginal discharge/ antibiotic course is also known to cause raise in WBCs in urine.
Thanks.
