Clinical significance Abnormal results: (1) A large number of red blood cell blood in the stool (lower gastrointestinal bleeding), bacterial dysentery (dysentery), ulcerative colitis, colon cancer and the like. (2) A large number of white blood cells, a small amount of red blood cells and epithelial cells, bacterial dysentery.
