What Does This Urinalysis Report Indicate?

Before I was diagnosed with UTI, I had pus cells and few bacteria present in my urine. I was asked to take another urinalysis after my medication and the pus cells were no longer present but the bacteria count showed occasional. What does this mean? I also now have occasional epithelial cells rather than just few which is the normal range indicated in the result of my urinalysis. Thank you!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you for the question, pleased to answer you
the bacterial count in urinalysis under a normal range proportion mean absolutly nothing, and to diagnoses an infection the count must exceed this normal range.
about apithelial cells, their presence is meaningless because it corresponds to a quite normal loss of the superficial cells of the tissue of the lower urinary tract.
I believe, you have no longer need to think about your urinary tract infection, it is absolutely well treated, however you must think about treating your partner to avoid a recurrency.
may my answer help you and best wishes.
