Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of stool report is as follows:
The physical characters- color, consistency, pH are within normal limits.
There is presence pf pus cells and red blood cells.
Presence of pus cells suggests presence of infection.
Presence of red blood cells could be accompanying feature of infection of the GIT.
Worms and other parasites are absent.
However, bacterial infection could be present.
Consult your doctor with report for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
