Abacterial Pyuria
White blood cells in urine despite routine bacterial urine culture showing no typical bacterial growth.
In patient care, Abacterial Pyuria concerns microorganisms, host response or infection-related tissue injury.
For Abacterial Pyuria, microbiological testing, cultures, molecular assays and imaging may be selected according to the suspected site.
Management is not uniform: treatment depends on the organism, severity, resistance pattern, host factors and need for source control.
Some presentations are incidental while others are clinically urgent, so interpretation should always be linked to the patient's overall condition.
Medical advice is especially important if features linked with abacterial pyuria are new, worsening or affecting normal function.
