A member asked:
When an exam of vaginal discharge yields white blood cells, does that mean a cbc would show a low wbc count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The body produces and distributes white cells as needed. The white blood cells most often found in the vaginal discharge are neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and these are called 'blood cells' simply because they're easily obtained from blood (where they travel) but visit many sites while on their tours of duty.
