What is the Significance of White Blood Cells in Pap Smear Tests?
A Pap smear is a routine test used to screen for cervical cancer and other abnormalities. The presence of an increased number of white blood cells in a Pap smear result can indicate inflammation or infection. This finding may prompt further investigation to identify the underlying cause, which could range from a simple infection to more serious conditions such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
