General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Leucocytes are white blood cells and sometimes indicate an infection is present.

They can sometimes be present in very small quantities when there is no infection seen.
If an urinary tract was present, the nitrites are also positive so this is unlikely.

Females can sometimes have slightly positive leucocytes due to a female discharge.

I hope this helps
