Question 1

my 4 month baby stool test result shown pus cell 5-10/h.p.f and rbc 1-2/h.p.f.do i need to worry and probiotic can be cure? is that serious condition?

Accepted Answer

Is baby sick: It depends on why the stool test was done and how the baby is.  In general, pus (WBC cells), also known as fecal leukocytes are an indication of infection.  Is the baby having diarrhea or bloody stools?  If so, a stool culture is usually indicated and what bugs are found determine if antibiotics are needed.  Certain bugs dont need treatment.  Generally NO, probiotics wont treat infection.

Question 2

hi, my 3 month old baby stool test results shown puss cell 1 to 3 hpf and rbc 3 to 5hpf,mucus is there and showing occult blood positive, is it to be worried about? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Depends on etiologic organism.  Positive  stool occult blood and leukocytes suggest bacterial infection as a cause of diarrhea in febrile infant.  In this clinical scenario, stool sample and blood specimen are submitted for bacterial culture for positive identification.

Question 3

my baby stool test say it's alkaline reaction what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

PH is &gt;7; this is nl: An alkaline reaction means that the chemical strip in the "baby stool test" has registered a pH above 7. There are 2 types of solutions: acid (pH &lt; 7) &amp; alkaline (pH&gt;7). Normally, the glands in the intestines release mucus &amp; bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to neutralize stomach acid &amp; the lubricate the colon, which makes the stool alkaline. If your baby has colitis (infection), stool would be prolific acidic

Question 4

my 4 month's baby stool test report having pus cells 6-10. is it abnormal??

Accepted Answer

Suggests infection: Fecal leukocytes are not normally present in stool in healthy individuals, and if 6-10 is considered moderately elevated and suggest inflammation from infection, usually a bacterial infection such as Salmonella or Shigella or potentially Ameba.   Viruses or allergy cause less reaction.  Leukocytes in stool can also be associated with inflammatory bowel disease, but this is unlikely in an infant.

Question 5

pus cells and rbc in stool test my dauter?

Accepted Answer

Could be many things: Overall having white blood cells(pus) and red blood cells in a stool test suggest some sort of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.  But it doesn't specify why this the case.  It could be related to an infection, or from an autoimmune process(like ulcerative colitis) or from low blood flow to the intestinal tract.

Question 6

had stool test. 
occult blood negative
wbc1-3 hpf
rbc 0-1 hpf
calprotectin stool test negative
cea 0.43. below 3.8 is normal
what does that mean

Accepted Answer

Sounds good.: Although it is impossible to definitively analyze lab results without knowing the patient and the results of all the rest of the lab tests, the portion that you have summarized here sound normal. You should get the opinion of the doctor who did the tests for a more definitive analysis, particularly if you're still having problems. Good luck.

Question 7

i am experiencing loose bowel right now with mild pain at the left side of my stomach my stool test shows occasional rbc and few pus but neg of amoeba?

Accepted Answer

More testing: With diarrhea, blood in the stool and pus (inflammation), an infection is the most likely diagnosis. There are other infections that need to be excluded but a colonoscopy may need to be considered to exclude other things (inflammatory bowel disease, malignancy).

Question 8

my baby is 6 month she has liquid stool 6 time a day this is stool test(pus cell:+)(ph:7.5)(r.b.c:0-2)(e.histolyte seen cyst}  what's refer good?

Accepted Answer

ID or GI: An infectious disease or gastroenterology consult would be most appropriate at this time.

Question 9

my 3 month old baby  is having blood in his stool since one month. there is no other issues.stool test showing no abnormalities.re and me test done.?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Blood in stool of nursed babies is normal.  If it is bright red and is accompanied by pain, a meckle's diverticulum should be suspected.

Question 10

my almost 5 month old baby has been having stool with mucus. his stool test states acidic reaction, 3-4  pus cells and trace of reducing subsance. ?

Accepted Answer

Non specific: Stool test is not helpful with results u have mentioned. More important is how is the child? Appears ill? Any fever? Feeding well? Crying often? How many stools a day? (10-15 wld be significant) See his doctor if ill. If he is otherwise fine then just repeating the stool exam shd suffice. The specific pH of the stool wld be more helpful- may suggest milk intolerance. 20-40 pus cells- infection.
