A positive nitrite test on its own, with normal pus cells and no growth on culture, doesn't usually mean you have an active urinary infection. Nitrites can sometimes show up without a true infection, especially if the sample sat for a while before testing, so the normal pus cells and negative culture here are reassuring.
Next Steps
If you have no burning, urgency or other symptoms, this report doesn't need treatment. If symptoms do appear, repeat a fresh clean-catch urine culture and see your gynaecologist or physician.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if you develop fever, back pain, or pain while urinating.
