Hello,
The high leukocyte count indicates that there are more number of bacteria responsible for infection and no response to Pyridium may be drug to drug resistance strain or other strain not responding to the molecule.
It is recommended to consult your doc for urine culture report or lab person if he or she is performing the same without prescription of doc.
Till that time, drink plenty of liquids and addition of cranberry sachets in current drug regimen will help a great.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
