Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphocytic pleocytosis is an abnormal increase in the amount of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Detailed explanation-2: -The typical finding in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with GBS is a combination of elevated protein levels and normal white blood cell count, which is termed “cytoalbuminologic dissociation” [2].
Detailed explanation-3: -Normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in adults and children contains no more than 5 white blood cells (WBCs)/mm3. However, normal CSF of neonates contains an imprecisely defined number of WBCs, which may be as many as 15–30/mm3.
Detailed explanation-4: -CSF total cell counts White blood cell (WBC) count-normally very few white blood cells are present. A significant increase in white blood cells in the CSF can be caused by infection or inflammation of the central nervous system.
