Yes, it can be if...: Yes, it can be if the urethra is involved. For men, this is rarely present. For female, watch for contamination during urine collection leading to white blood cells in the urine; it's common.

Yes: But many other suspects. See your dr. When you ask this, are you referring to a microscopic or dipstick test? Or is it something seen with unaided eye? Burning pain? Drip? Blood? Increased frequency ; urgency of urination? If you have sores they should be cultured promptly.

Infections: Nope. Not usually. White blood cells usually represent a situation of a bacterial, not viral, infection of the bladder or urinary tract.
