A member asked:

Test 4 uti show 3 bacteria and blood. 7days macrodantin (nitrofurantoin) & new culture after 2 days off meds shows trace blood and leukocytes but no growth. too soon?

Lab data: This must be combined with symptoms and history and physical exam. Must also know the means by which the urine specimen was collected, particularly in women. It sounds like this has resolved, but subject to limitations outlined above.
