Hi, I am 29 years old and I am a seven months of pregnancy, my Urine test result shows: Gram Stain: Epithelial cells + Lactobacilli + Gram-psoitivecocci +
Culture: Enterobacteriaceae species ++
although in the Microscopic evaluation: Epithelial cells value is NIL PUS CELLS value is 1 - 2
Do I have Urine infection and what is the treatment? Please advice
The interpretation of urine report is as follows: Presence of gram positive bacteria and a a culture positive for Enterobacteriaeae, a type of bacteria in urine sample is suggestive of urinary tract infection. Presence of pus cells on microscopy further supports the presence of infection in the urine sample. Further a drug sensitivity test. In drug sensitivity test, most appropriate antibiotic is identified effective against the bacteria. Since, you are pregnant, selection of antibiotic is very important since, a large number of drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy since they can have ill-effect on the baby. Consult your gynaecologist to select most appropriate antibiotic during pregnancy.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
