What does that mean?
Google isn't really helping.

She said she'd send off the sample and got me to do a swab as well, but also said she'll look at the results in a week.

Think you might have a UTI?

Assuming this is relating to your urine sample, “leucocytes” means white blood cells which can be a sign of infection. The “3.5” doesn’t quite make sense though. Could it have been “3+”? Urine dipstick tests measure things as +, ++, +++ etc. according to how much is detected.

It should be written in your notes if you wanted to check.
