What Does The Following Urine Analysis Report Indicate?

She needs to drink plenty of water.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The pus cell count in urine is important. I would need to know how much it was. I would also need to know the leucocyte count in blood and the differentials for the same (how much neutrophils). [100 leucocytes where? What is 2?]
The antibiogram incidentally has not tested for amoxicillin which you have been giving. So, it is hard to comment if it is effective. It is not that antibiotics like this cannot be given for 7 days and should be given for only either 5 or 10 days. I would not only advise you to continue it for 7 days but also to add another antibiotic as per the sensitivity report. Cotrimoxazole or cefuroxime are sensitive and are good alternatives. Ideally the combination should be given for 14 days. The duration may depend on the pus cell count.
You also need to give her plenty of water to drink.
Regards


Pus cell count not raised.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. The urine report shows a pus cell count of 2-3/hpf which is normal and does not call for treatment with antibiotics unless the colony count of E.coli is more than 10^5. Unless that is the case, you should stop antibiotics altogether after 5 days (from beginning) and need not add the second antibiotic.
Antibiotic does not count as 'too much'. It is either 'needed' or 'not needed'. It should be given in proper dose.
Just give her plenty of water to drink. She will be fine. You need not repeat the urine test unless you are too apprehensive (as the first one was normal anyway).
Regards


Please check the colony count. It should be mentioned somewhere in the test report.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Please check the colony count of the bacterial growth. It is a part of the same test. If the report indicates that the number of E.coli is less than 10^5/hpf, you can stop antibiotics. If not, it should be given in combination to the other antibiotic.
Regards


Needs to be given.
Detailed Answer:
Yes, i've seen it.
Thanks, this is what I was asking for. The colony count is more than 10^5 (i.e. 1,00,000) and so Amoxycillin as well as one among Cotrimoxazole or Cefuroxime needs to be given for a total of 14 days (under supervision of her pediatrician).
Take Care
Regards
