Thsnk you for your question on HCM. In my opinion male with more than 1 pus cell is considered to have infection in any part of urinary system. And more than puss cell you are also having RBCs in the urine. It is definitely pathological. Causes of RBCs in urine are infection, stones, stricture etc. RBCs and puss cells both suggest infection.
