A member asked:
The azo test said leukocytes are positive (very light purple) but negative for nitrates. i am also fighting a uri. could it be (+) because of my uri?

NO.: Colds are caused by viruses that affect the upper respiratory system. The positive test for leukocytes comes from possible bacterial infection in the urinary tract. There is no physiologic connectiion between the two.
