Urine test result analysis?

My 7 month old baby is having the urine routine test result as follows:

Pus cells (WBC)-10-12/HPF
Epithelical cells-6-8/hpf
RED BLOOD CELLS (RBC) - 2-4/HPF

PLEASE tell me anything dangerous in this result.

The most important questions are why is your 7 mo old baby having a urine test -- and how was it collected? There is no "routine" urine collection recommendations for a 7 mo old baby. If urine was being collected to check for a urinary tract infection, then the method of collection would be the most important information and would profoundly impact the interpretation of the results.

Could be a stone or infection. She needs a renal and bladder ultrasound.
