A member asked:
Is it always uti if you found leukocytes in urine? any other possibilities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pyuria, or white blood cells in the urine, is a nonspecific sign and can be present in other inflammatory disorders of the urinary tract. A true infection is confirmed by a positive culture.
