Brief Answer:
1.5 NRBC/100 WBC is normal, nothing to worry about.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on Ask A Doctor service.

The complete blood count (CBC) report posted by you is within the normal range. All parameters - White blood count, differential leukocyte count, red cell indices- MCV and MCH are within normal limits.

The presence of 1.5 nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) / 100 white blood cells is normal.
There is nothing to worry about and it does not suggest any disease.

Thanks and take care
Dr. Shailja Puri
