Question 1

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: The white cells indicate local inflammation, perhaps the lingering signs of a central nervous system infection.  However, this can be present in other conditions, such as arteritis, sarcoid, multiple sclerosis, carcinomatous meningitis, etc.  Perhaps would be explained by your doctor as to why spinal tap was done.

See a p to get started on therapy and have some blood work sent off for a diagnosis and a cure.

Question 3

what would happen if we didn't have white blood cells in our body?

Accepted Answer

Deficient white cell: If someone has no white blood cells he would be at risk of overwhelming systemic infection and death. White cells protect us from infection and keep our immune system functioning.

Question 4

can you see white blood cells in urine?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: As single cells, the naked eye would not be able to see individual white blood cells. So if there is just a small amount you could not rely on just looking at urine and know with certainty. However, in large groups as pus, white blood cells and other materials can be seen in this way. So large amounts would be more obvious, just like looking at pus around a wound.
