CSF cell count normal value

The normal value of white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid is 0-8, and generally no red blood cells are found. Increased cerebrospinal fluid cells can be seen in various infectious diseases, meningeal carcinomatosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc. Suppurative infection of cerebrospinal fluid can cause increased neutrophils, viral fungal infection can see increased lymphocytes, tuberculous meningitis can be mixed with increased cells, and central nervous system parasitic diseases mainly include increased eosinophils. If abnormal tumor cells are found in cerebrospinal fluid, it has definite diagnostic significance for tumors and metastases of the central nervous system. Therefore, cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid is very significant for meningeal carcinoma, leukemia of the central nervous system and metastases of the central nervous system. Erythrocytes and hemosiderin cells are found in cerebrospinal fluid during subarachnoid hemorrhage.
