Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

3-5 pus cells in females is taken as normal unless they have burning urination. If they complain of burning urination then it is considered very mild urinary tract infection. Rbc 1-2 is normal .

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help .
