A member asked:
I had a uti test and the leukocytes was positive, is that because i have herpes or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leukocytes: Leukocytes, when positive in a urine sample, only prove that there is "pyuria" or pus in the urine, which can indicate an infection. It does not identify what pathogen is causing an infection.
