Best Answer

Preliminary urine culture might just be a Urinalysis (UA), in which they check for white blood cells in sample. White blood cells are a sign of inflammation. No matter what the preliminary culture says, you should wait for the results of the Urine Culture (24-48 hours) as it can provide more information about the possible infection.
