A member asked:
Why would i still have nitrate and leukocytes present in my urine dipstick result after antibiotic treatment ?

Not cured.: These may be indicators that the infection has not been "cured, " which is more likely if your practitioner "emperically" gave you an anitbiotic, without obtaining a urine culture and sensitivity test. If you are symptomatic, you should see your doctor, particularly if this study was not done.
