Erythrocytes [#/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Manual count --1st tube
RBC tube1 # CSF Manual
Definition
- A sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected using a procedure called a lumbar puncture or spinal tap. Often, three or more separate tubes of CSF are collected (tube 1, tube 2, tube 3), and multiple tests may be run on the different tubes. Normally no erythrocytes are present in CSF. The presence of red blood cells may indicate bleeding into the CSF or may indicate a "traumatic tap" - blood that leaked into the CSF sample during collection. [Lab Tests Online]
