LP results?

So everything from the LP was clear, except for "mature appearing lymphocytes are present."  What might this mean? Please feel free to take a look at my previous posts for background info. - I have a 10+ year history of symptoms, and am desperate for answers! Thank you all so much.

OK, so it does sound like you are missing some very relevant results.  Get on that office staff to give you the rest of it.  You have a right to have it.

When I picked up my paperwork, it was at least 10 pages for the lp alone.  The lab sent a report every day to the doctor on what was going on.  HTH

Just Neurosyhillis results, o-band results, and the cytopathological summary: no malignant cells, fluid clear, lymphocytes present. I don't think I got all the information....

The glucose, protein, cell count, etc are all typical tests when an LP is done.  I seriously doubt that they were not ordered.  It sounds like the office didn't give you all the results.  I'd call them and ask about the additional tests. If they can't tell you what happened, then ask to talk to the doctor and see if it was done or not.   What test results did you get?

P.S. - Does anyone think it strange that though he told me he was testing for glucose, protein, cell count, etc., and after 3 weeks of unsuccessfully requesting my file (had to pick it up in person today), I finally got the paperwork, but there are, mysteriously, NO numerical values or references to glucose, protein or cell counts? Is he not being forthcoming? Shouldn't this be part of the CSF report?
