[QUOTE="Star*, post: 95780, member: 4964"] Tina, This is a CSF test. When regular blood testing can't find a reason for a low white BCC they take fluid from between the vertebra in your spine. It's usually done with a slightly larger needle and it hurts. Here I found an article for you to read about what is going on that pretty much tells you what to expect so she can calm down a little, and what they may MAY be looking for. Praying for the best outcome! [url="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003625.htm"]http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003625.htm[/url] We have a lot of MRSA here in SC right now. It's a mean strain of staph. DF got if from the local hospital and nearly died before they figured out what was going on. It caused him to go back in for surgery 3 more times to remove necrotic tissue. He also as a result of the mass antibiotics you have to get IV - lost his teeth. They were nice healthy teeth and the antibiotics ate the roots and rotted his teeth out. I know that isn't what your sister in law has, but you were worried she had too many antibiotics - I think she'll be okay. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
