What does a plus sign for white blood cells mean?

Leukocytes (+) are often indicative of an infection, as a normal routine urine test should be negative for leukocytes. Leukocytes are inflammatory cells, and in areas where there is an infection, the leukocytes will gather and there will be an increase in the number of leukocytes when the test is performed. If the routine urine test leukocytes (+), along with the symptoms of urinary urgency, frequent urination and painful urination, you are considered to have a urinary tract infection, usually drink more water, urinate more often, and take oral antibiotics to treat it, and you will soon be able to cure it. If the urine routine leukocytes (+), no urinary urgency, urinary frequency, urinary pain symptoms, we should consider asymptomatic bacteriuria or contamination of the specimen, you can review the urine routine after a period of time to see.
