This is the place to ask questions if you have symptoms that suggest MS, but aren't yet diagnosed.

results of my lumbar puncture.

Post by dpcorona »

The hospital where I took my LP posted my results on my online profile. I don't see any mention of a test for O-bands. I did see a WBC count twice the normal range, the lymp count about 13% higher and the mono count about only about 7%. Is this test or are these results something anybody know about here?

I know that lumber puncture is a diagnostic and and at times therapeutic medical procedure.For the collection o f cerebrospinal fluid, it is used to exclude or to confirm confirm conditions such as meningitis and subarachnoid haemorrhage and it may be used in diagnosis of other conditions.

my o-band test result was the last one to come in after the LP. could just be pending.

first couple google search results have useful info on elevated wbc in csf: https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=elevated+wbc+csf
