Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Pus cell count simply means how many white blood cells have been seen under a microscope in one area of microscope view. 1-2 is not much and does not indicate an infection.
Epithelial count describes how many epithelial cells have been seen under a microscope. Epithelial cells can be in the urine. Usually this cells are from urinary tract when old cells are replaced by new ones. Such cells replacing process is a normal thing. Few cells is fine and do not indicate any problems.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
