I went to ER last Tuesday with uti symptoms ( burning with urination and terrible frequency) , they diagnosed me with uti and give me keflex for 10 days. I am better but received culture results and its negative...? My UA WBS are 116 and RBC is 4 and UA squamous cells are at 16. I am so scared, I don think I ever had that high WBC in urine! Before I wen to ER I took uva ursi and soe furaginum(over counter)could that cause negative culture?

    I don't think the WBC count is a false positive. I think you have an infection somewhere. Why no bacteria is showing up, I don't know.Surely if you have a good doctor he or she should be looking into why this is.
