Granulocytes [#] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Manual count

Granulocytes CSF Manual

Definition

  • In a CSF white blood cell (WBC) differential there are normally less than 5 cells present for an adult. A significant increase in WBCs may be seen with infection or inflammation of the central nervous system. An increased number of polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) may indicate a bacterial infection (neutrophils) or a parasitic infection (eosinophils) for example. This term is used with a denominator term such as 19075-1 Cells counted.total [#] in Cerebral spinal fluid.
