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

my 3 months old child had 3-5/hpf pus cells in his stool test. what does it means?

Accepted Answer

It means he has: infection in stool. Is he having diarrhea?

Question 3

in stool test what should be d normal range of pus cells?

Accepted Answer

Less than one: Pus cells are not present in normal stool.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

i am 70 years old. during stool test, the abnormality reported is acidic and pus cells 1-2.
what should i conclude and do.

Accepted Answer

May be nothing: If you do not have any symptoms, it may be best to ignore the report.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 7

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 8

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.

Question 9

hi my 3 month ebf baby has loose motions for last 14 days. now its green loose watery/seedy stools. stool test - 8-10/hpf pus cells reducing substance + , started "taxim o"bbay is gainig weight n active. plz tell me if he has ny other serious condition or

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The presence of reducing substances and pus cells in small concentrations doesn't necessarily indicate infection, but it seems your doctor prescribed Taxin O just in case.  EBF babies typically have soft stools that may also appear "seedy" &amp; range from yellow to green in color.  Iron supplements can make the stool darker.  Since your baby is active &amp; growing, most like s'he is fine.

Question 10

my daughter is 3 months old. for the last 2 weeks she is having loose motion. her stool test show 2-3 pus cells. plz advise?

Accepted Answer

Need other info:: 1. What is she feeding? 2. what was her weight gain from birth to 2 weeks ago, and what was it in the last 2 weeks? 3. How many loose motions a day? Color? 4. Vomiting? Activity level? Fever? Any other concerns?

Short version: a baby that continues to gain weight properly, and is acting well, while having loose motions, rarely has any real problem.
