Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Increased leukocyte count in the urine suggests that there is bacterial infection in the urinary tract. The infection might be anywhere from urethra to kidneys. Depending on the clinical presentation the exact location of infection can be postulated.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask doubts if any.
