Dear Dr,
The urine report has come and it is negative, but the urine culture was done when my wife's period had already come.
She is on 509mg Zinnat antibiotic for 5 days 2 times daily.
Will the urine report come incorrect as the urine was withdrawn after periods.
Do you recommend any further test.
