Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, urine culture report with e. coli with more than 10000 colony count is suggestive of urinary tract infection. Based on this report they would have done sensitivity to drugs which should be given for treatment. You can take a picture of the report and revert back so that antibiotics can be started accordingly. Take care.
