Brief Answer: Essentially normal.... Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX This report is essentially normal. You should continue the antibiotic and wait for culture reports. Drink lots of fluids.

Brief Answer: Further tests if you are symptomatic... Detailed Answer: 1. No growth on culture rules out bacterial infections. The cause may be viral or non infective (non specific) conditions. I would continue oflox for 5 days and stop it. No further action is needed if you have no symptoms. 2. If you continue to remain symptomatic after antibiotic therapy, I would refer you to an urologist for further evaluation. 3. Urinary tract infection is generally secondary to sexual intercourse. Practice safe sex and you minimize chances of infection. Besides intercourse, improper personal hygiene can cause UTI. Therefore maintain proper personal hygiene. Regards
