Either the infection was detected early enough that the body didn't have the chance to raise white blood cell (WBC) count as part of a immune response, or for some reason the body is unable to create an immune response due to some type of disease process...a common one being leukemia.

White blood cells are our way of fighting infection.

Your doctor has found blood and white blood cells in your daughters urine why has he found these?

The problem is not blood in the urine itself. Rather blood in the urine is a sign of something. Something that is not right somewhere within the urogenital tract. For men and women. It could be something as simple as a low-grade infection. It might be a bladder or kidney stone, bobbling around causing irritation of the lining and therefore blood. Or it may be an early warning sign of a kideny cancer, ureteral cancer or even a bladder cancer. Could be a urinary tract infection. However take her to a urologist even if your doctor throws antibiotics at the problem or says come back in a few months and will see if the problem still exists. Find a urologist get her to it.
