Don't be ridiculous ! If you did any research online you'll see the normal count for wbc in urine is 0-3. Your 1-2 is within normal. White cell differential eosinophil count is 8% the upper limit normal is 3%. So this is high. But its hardly a reason to go writing up your last will and testament for. Eosinophils are a marker for parasitic infections and certain allergic conditions like asthma. You said you had malaria, this too is a parasitic infection that could raise your eosinophil count. Secondly, you took anti-malarial drugs, this and many other classes of drug can also raise eos. If you don't believe, do another test in 3-4 months. It should have returned to normal. |
