A member asked:
Is it normal to see microscopic blood in catheterized uti patient even after 5 days of antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urinary catheter: Many or most persons with indwelling catheters have red blood cells in their urine from time to time, or all the time. This is expected, normal, and nothing to worry about in regard to infection. RBC alone (without WBC) does not go along with infection.
