If in Urine Routine Test Protein is found 20.0 mg/dL (normally nil) and RBC is found 10-13 RBC/HPF (maxm 3-4, preferably nil) Pus Cell 5-7 WBC/HPF, Epithelial Cells ++(in fair nos) but the Urine Culture Report taken from the same sample shows No Aerobic pyogenic Organism Growth after 48 hours of incubation at 37 degree centigrade. My question is whether this will not be reflected in Culture Report. The UTI medications taken on the basis of routine test report completely remission the fever from 101 degree. Then what is the fallacy in Culture Test. RBC and Protein Problem will not be reflected?

Culture need to be done before taking any antibiotic based on urien RE report and proteins increase due to many conditions and not UTI. If you can send directly the report, and details of your symptoms, I can clarify.
