The point here is that a sinus infectoin is absolutely no fun but a urinary tract infection can lead to a kidney infection and preterm labor. That's why you need to discuss the priorities with your doctor. Some blood without white blood cells and bacteria may not be significant.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
