Strange that no one else takes into account the prefix "hyper"!

leucorachie is WBC in CSF Phil.
neutral Ahmad Hamdy : I agree that it means "high white blood cell count (leukocytosis)", but there is no need to use "marked". It simply is "high (elevated) white blood cell count".

Lymphocytic pleocytosis

Would that be Lymphocytic pleocytosis, at 38 million cellules par litre (donc au-dessus de 5 par micro-litre)?

I stand corrected. Drmanu49 has a point since leucocytes are more than lympocytes. I just went through half a dozen papers and people use sentences combining "leucocytes" and "pleocytosis". Perhaps you should show the path, and coin the term:

Leucopleocytosis

!
Peer comment(s):

disagree Ahmad Hamdy : Source text is "leukocytes (white blood cells)", not "lymphocytes". Hence, the correct translation should be either "high white cell count" or "leukocytosis". High white cell count is more consistent with the source. Leuc(k?)opleocystosis is purposeless.

I know. I wrote so on Drmanue's proposal.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytosis in severe malaria was assessed in 87 children in Papua New Guinea participating in a detailed longitudinal observational study who had undergone lumbar puncture for further investigation of altered consciousness and/or convulsions. After rigorous exclusion of non-malarial infection, 16 (20.5%) of 78 children with Plasmodium falciparum monoinfection but 0 of 9 with P. vivax/mixed-species malaria had a detectable CSF leukocytosis, which was unrelated to prior, including complex, seizures. There were eight children with a CSF leukocyte density > 10 cells/μL (9.2% of the total sample), half of whom had cerebral malaria (4 of 22, 18.1%). Cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis is infrequent in severe pediatric malaria, especially in children with P. vivax infections, and it is generally mild. Its presence in a blood slide-positive child should prompt consideration of alternative diagnoses and empiric antibiotic therapy.

Note the French text indicates an elevation of white blood cells, it does not qualify this elevation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ahmad Hamdy : High (increased) white blood cell count is "leukocytosis". That is correct.

Thanks!
neutral Drmanu49 : Hyper is not translated in this case. Yes, my point, this is more than "elevated".

elevated white cell count

Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid shows an **elevated white cell count** of 38 m/l
Peer comment(s):

agree Michele Fauble : Yes, ‘Hyperleucorachie’ was the term requested.

neutral Drmanu49 : Hyper is not translated in this case, this is more than "elevated".// If you are a medical doctor you should have spotted an error in 38 M/l.

Hyper "means" elevated, "hypo" means diminished. Hyperkalemia is "elevated blood level potassium" and hypokalemia is the opposite. Hyper is not more than elevated. Hyper IS "elevated" and "hypo" IS "diminished".
