Is Puss Cells In Stool Normal For A 15 Year Old?
Thanks, yes.
My daughter = 15-year-old girl with persistent nausea for four months.
Had a stool test last month. The results say "pus cells in stool." Is this normal? If not, is it a symptom of something in particular?
Her pediatrician seems to have overlooked this; I don't know whether it is important.
Thanks again,
-Brian

Hi... pus cells in stool can be due to gastroenteritis. You need to repeat the test once you are done with the treatment.
