A member asked:

For what reason are there no white blood cells in urine with urinary tract infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to be the: Case. Only the extreme case of a person with profound leukopenia may one not see white blood cells in urine with urinary tract infection. White cells may not be seen if the urine was not preserved properly and the WBC disintegrated.
