A member asked:
If my lymphocytes are elevated and monocytes are decreased in my csf hematology results from a spinal tap should i be concerned? the tap was to rule out ms, what else could cause the increase and decrease in these levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific: Increased lymphocytes in spinal fluid can be seen in many disorders including viral infections and MS. If MS is the primary concern, tthere are more specific tests and relatively precise imaging studies that can be done

Spinal tap for MS came back with Lymphocytes 95, Monocytes 5, Nucleated Cells were 8. Are these usually this high in MS or could it be something else ?
I had a spinal puncture done and the results said CSF/serum oligoclonal bands negative and CSF Oligoclonal bands 0 bands. does that mean i have ms?
Had spinal tap. O bands were found in CSF and not blood sample. IgG Index, CSF was 1.20. Does this tell how many bands? Says MS or another disease?
