A more defined differential with percentages of cell types was most likely analyzed. The presence of a mixed pattern of inflammatory cells indicates inflammation associated with more than one cell type. Avoid smoke exposure, allergens and please follow up with your physician. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
