What Does Pus Cells (60-80) And Some Epithelial Cells In Urine Indicate?

hi, my 8yr old daughter tested pus cells (60-80) and some epithelial cells in urine. what does it mean? Also, she has an allergy like reaction allover her body. She is always often coughing, she gets treatment, gets ok, but it never really goes aways. What could it be?

Hi,

This means there are two possibilities.

1. Allergy or inflammation-induced sterile pyuria where there will not be any urinary infection but there will be plenty of pus cells in the urine.
2. Urinary tract infection.

If there is no fever or stomach pain with chills and rigors you can wait. But if there is fever she will require urine culture and butter to start on antibiotics, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
