Introduction to Cerebrospinal Fluids
Cells Present in Normal CSF
In addition to chemical components, a few cells are also found in normal CSF. In an adult, 0 - 5 WBC/µl is considered normal. Children will have slightly higher cell counts. Up to 30 WBC/µl is within normal limits for newborns. Lymphocytes account for 60 - 100% of these cells.
