How is the infection diagnosed?

A history of the symptoms is taken by a healthcare provider. A urine sample may be sent to a lab for a urinalysis and a urine culture. Infected urine often contains bacteria and white blood cells, the infection-fighting cells of the body. Normal urine contains little or no bacteria or white blood cells.
