Hello,
Pus cells in urine is called pyuria. It can be found in UTI, kidney diseases, polycystic kidneys, prostate causes (in males) and UTI with gonorrhea or Chlamydia. then it can be due to UTI. Chlamydia is an infection caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium and is spread from person-to-person through direct sexual contact. Chlamydia can be passed during vaginal, anal, or oral sex if you do not use a condom every time you have sex.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Normal numbers of pus cells are up to 5 in males and may be up to 10 in females. The presence of pus cells in urine is also called pyuria, and is defined as >10 pus cells / microlitre of urine. Increased number of pus cells may reveal some destructive or healing process in the urinary tract, anywhere from kidney to the bladder.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
