Hello Doctor,My daughter is one year and 6 months old.A couple of weeks back she was running high fever, we could relate it with the flu as she had it running that time.Our pediatrician advised us for the urine analysis which showed some puss cells (6-8)and later the culture showed the invasion of E-coli bacteria in her bladder and she was on antibiotics.Now, again we did the urine analysis which is showing quite weired results, it shows that the puss cells have increased (8-12).we are waiting for the culture report though..I am quite worried about this little baby.Please advice?
Hiring report analysis depend on many variants. For young infants ideal method of collection is direct aspiration from bladder or catheterization. Direct caught sample may get contaminated with organism in perineal area. 2nd thing is whether the sample was assessed after centrifugation or not. In centrifuged sample less than ten pus cells are not significant. Sometimes pus cells are increased without urinary tract infection. Wait for urine culture, see if it has significant colony count of E cold(keep in mind E. coli are normally present there, so their mere presence is not significant but their increased number is important)
