What anitibiotics are there to use to lower white blood cell count in spinal fluid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Are we talking about meningitis or one of the numerous other conditions that can cause white cells to be in the spinal fluid? If it is a bacterial infection, then cultures will tell you what antibiotics are appropriate. If it is a viral infection, no antibiotics are needed.
