Is lumbar puncture needle white blood cell 18 encephalitis?

Mar 23, 2022

Lumbar puncture usually requires the collection of cerebrospinal fluid for testing. The purpose of taking cerebrospinal fluid for testing is to observe whether the number of cells in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid is normal, whether the protein is normal, and how sugar and chloride are.

If some are viral infections, viral antibody monitoring is also required, and some are autoimmune disease antibody monitoring.

Generally speaking, the white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid are normally 0 to 10 10 to the 6th power per liter, and they are mainly mononuclear. If the white blood cell count in the cerebrospinal fluid of the patient's lumbar puncture is 18, it indicates that there may be inflammation in the brain, possibly encephalitis. However, the diagnosis cannot be made only by this one, and it must be combined with some other related testing items to diagnose whether it is encephalitis.
