Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

The report which you have submitted is absolutely normal. It does not show evidence of infection. However, once in a while it is better to get urine culture and sensitivity done as the infection can be asymptomatic.

The present episode of fever and vomiting can be due to other causes like upper respiratory tract infection.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
