White blood cells in urine 15 serious?

A white blood cell count of 15 in a urine routine does not necessarily indicate a serious infection. In general, the number of white blood cells in a urine routine is controlled within 3 to 5, with an upper limit of 3 for men and 5 for women. Elevated white blood cells often indicate urinary tract infection, but the severity should not only be determined by the number of white blood cells in a urine routine, but also by combining the number of bacteria in a urine routine, the results of urine culture, and the patient's own symptoms. If the white blood cell count is only 15 and the patient has no other discomfort, it is actually a latent mild infection. If the corresponding frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, difficulty urinating, or even hematuria and positive urine culture are displayed, the white blood cell count is only 15, which can indicate a more serious infection. If the simple, asymptomatic latent infection, the patient only needs to drink a lot of water and pay attention to personal hygiene. If there are more obvious symptoms, urine culture positive, consider more obvious urinary tract infection, to use oral antibiotics treatment, commonly used is the third generation of cephalosporins or quinolone drugs, the course of treatment in 3~7 days.
