Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of stool analysis is as follows:
Presence of white blood cells more than 20 per hpf can be due to infection, abscess, inflammatory bowel disease, fistula etc.
Presence of 2 red blood cells per hpf does not signify any disease.
Absence of ova or cyst rules out presence of any parasitic infection.
The stool analysis report has to be correlated clinically.
Thanks and take care
