What does high bands in blood tests and spinal fluid mean ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible infection: Bands are immature forms of neutrophils and are produced by bone marrow in higher numbers most frequently as a response to infection. Remember this is just one isolated point of information and needs to be correlated with the overall clinical scenario.
