A member asked:

My urine test showed nitrates and leucocytes, but the culture was normal. i'm still very uncomfortable. should i keep taking antibiotics ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat it: Symptoms of urgency, frequency and burning with the urinary nitrites and leukocytes should be treated. Such infections sometimes do not yield a culture because the specimen was taken after you took the antibiotics or specimen was not collected or transported properly. Symptomatic urinary tract infection should be treated.
