Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, sad to hear you that your father had develped UTI. If I am your advising doctor I would like to tell you right now your father is not having infection as suggested by the pus cells, but also has highe RBC count 50, Which arises suspicion in my mind about UTI. But I would suggest you to do Gram's Stain of the urine and culture sensitivity of urine. Gram's stain will tell you probable organisms like Grams negative, Positive and helps doctor in treatment. Culture Sensitivity will give you about resistance pattern of the organisms and identification. so if organisms are present in urine they will be treated according to the sensitive antibiotics. If you have any further querry you can contact me, Dr. Arun Tank. Thnx
