Question 1

does having proctitis with chronic inflammatory cells in lamina propria, with scattered neutophils in the lamina propria of the rectum mean i have ibd

Accepted Answer

IBD: Inflammatory bowel disease usually requires both clinical or endoscopic findings and a solid abnormality in the form of microscopic architectural abnormalities as well as significant inflammation. It doesn't sound from your description like you have more than just non-specific inflammation. If the rest of the colon was negative, this doesn't sound diagnostic.

Question 2

my smears show thick inflammatory exudates consisting of neutrophils with occasional macrophages and lympho, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: First, where are these smears coming from...pap? Neutrophils are an indicator to the pathologist of acute inflammation and macrophages and lymphocytes are an indication of chronic inflammation. These findings are very non-specific, but likely indicate an infectious etiology present.

Question 3

i had a bronchoscopy done and this was one of the results histiocytes with background scattered mixed inflammatory cells what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

: it shows chronic inflammatory change probably due the atmosphere or smoking  but no cancer. Good Luck

Question 4

i have a result in pap smear which have remarks as "mostly intermediate cells, few superficial cells.mild inflammatory background." what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing really: This is of no real concern. Your physician may want this information, but the key is that nothing worrisome was seen.

Question 5

hematology report showed white blod cells count is 12.3 above normal range 4.0 - 11.0  neutrophils= 9.1 above normal range of  2.0 - 7.5  i. n. r.1.16?

Accepted Answer

Lab results: In the absence of symptoms or clinical exam findings, lab results that are "near normal" can be discussed with the ordering physician, but generally can be considered normal.  In some cases, a physician may want to repeat the tests at a later date to see if this would represent your "baseline" lab results, a transient abnormality, or an early trend towards abnormal results.

Question 6

what if inflammatory cells are present ?

Accepted Answer

Clarify?: Where were those inflammatory cells? What would you like to know?

Question 7

i received results for a sputum sample. they say rare epithelial cells and few neutrophils. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal exam: no infection or WBC elevation- generally benign findings.

Question 8

my neutrophils have been low for past 3 blood tests which i have yearly . the last yearly test they were 1.400 and my white cells were 3.3 .

Accepted Answer

Follow it: This is no danger to your life at this level. Some folks run low neutrophis through their entire lives, or a portion of it.

Question 9

i got an unsatisfactory smear result. it states that no endocervical and squamous metaplastic cells seen & poly.neutrophils are present. help please.

Accepted Answer

Repeat : Unless you have had a hysterectomy and your cervix was removed, then you just need a repeat pap. The sample that was obtained did not have enough cells present.

Question 10

very rare inflammatory cells on wet mount..what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Body is responding: If there are 'inflammatory' cells seen, then that means your body is fighting some type of disease - most likely an infection. The immune system is extraordinarily complex and has at its disposal an arsenal of cells that will 'fight' for you - that's what's been reported here on microscopy. Depending on your history, symptoms and other tests, a doctor should be easily able to help you get better.
