Abstract The significance of low leukocyte counts in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remains unclear. We performed a 2-year retrospective study to examine microbiological outcomes associated with CSF leukocytes at 6–10/mm3. Of the 178 samples examined, we detected positive results for 11 samples, including 5 cases of tick-borne encephalitis virus infection.
