Patient's question:
Hello Doctor! I am a 18-week pregnant woman. I had a prenatal check-up recently and received some abnormal results. Could you please help me analyze them?White blood cell count: 16.80 (Reference range: 0--15.8)
White blood cells (high power): 3.00
Epithelial cell count: 29.4 (Reference range: 0--17.2)
Epithelial cells (high power): 5.30
Red blood cell information: Non-uniform small red blood cells
All other results are within the normal range, but these three items are abnormal. What could be causing this? Will it affect the fetus? Thank you! Urgent reply needed!
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a local infection, which refers to the pathogen invading the body and establishing itself in a specific location, where it grows and reproduces, producing toxic substances. It is recommended to start antibiotic treatment via intravenous administration as early as possible.
