Hi, my ua results listed leukoesterase 1+ , nitrate positive, and something about klebsiella pneumoniae. does this indicate the need for "cipro" ??

Sounds like UTI: Cipro is an antibiotic that is often used empirically for UTIs. It may be indicated if you have no contradindications and the klebsiella is susceptible to it
