My report shows that LUC is high. I heard this might be related to an infection, possibly even HIV. Could you please advise?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
LUC (large unstained cells) are atypical cells seen in infections, allergies, or inflammation, not specific for HIV. An elevated LUC often reflects a recent viral infection or immune response. Please repeat a Complete Blood Count with differential and consider a peripheral smear for clarity. If you have HIV risk factors, an HIV antibody/antigen test can provide definitive screening. Review all results with your doctor
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a HIV DUO (HIV P24 ANTIGEN, HIV 1 & 2 ANTIBODY) Test

My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?
