A member asked:
1 to 5 wbc in urine culture, but no bacteria found is it possible the cause can be something else though ruled out uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within normal limits: 5 wcs or less in the spun urinary sediment/microscopic high power field is normal. Wbcs are seen on microscopic urinalysis and not in a urine culture. Urine cultures are performed to identify and quantify urinary bacteria..
