What does the rare pus cells result mean in sputum test?

A rare presence of pus cells in a sputum test usually indicates a normal or very mild inflammatory response in the respiratory system. It is commonly seen in individuals with viral infections, mild allergies, or irritants in the airways. Additional symptoms or findings would need to be considered to determine the underlying cause.


What does many pus cells in the sputum test result mean?

It is customary to report pus cells in numbers per high power field (of x 45 or x 40 objective lens and x 10 eyepiece lens giving a total magnification of 450 or 400). If there are more than 10 pus cells per each high power field it indicates infection. Sputum is referred to the secretions of lower respiratory tract(bronchi & lungs). Increased pus cells in sputum would mean that the infection is in lower repiratory tract.

If you experience frequent blackouts when coughing, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause.
