Answer
Hi Leo.  Based on the urinalysis results you've provided me, I'd say that you may have a UTI (urinary tract infection).  The 2+ LEUKOCYTES refers to the amount of WBCs (white blood cells) in your urine.  WBCs in urine usually indicates an infection.  Also the moderate amount of bacteria in your urine also indicates an infection.  Check with your doctor.  He/she may prescribe you a course of antibiotics.  The antibiotics should cure the infection.
