Site
Location where sample was taken from your conjunctiva. Recorded during collection, reported as anatomical location. Helps identify specific area of infection.
2
Size
Size of cellular components in your conjunctival sample. Measured by microscopy, reported in micrometers. Abnormal sizes indicate inflammation or infection.
3
Neutrophil Count
