A condition with low neutrophil counts, caused by accelerated removal, increased destruction, autoimmune issues, or bone marrow problems.

Neutropenia developed later in life due to various factors like inflammation, infections, drugs, radiation, or autoimmune disorders.

A form of rheumatoid arthritis where the spleen destroys neutrophils.

High neutrophil count, often in response to infections or stress.

Increased neutrophil release compensating for tissue needs; often linked with a left-shifted leukocyte formula (leukemoid reaction).

High eosinophil count, often related to allergic reactions, parasites, infections, or certain malignancies.

Neutropenia present at birth; Kostmann's syndrome is a common example.

Increased neutrophil count due to normal bodily processes such as pregnancy, labor, postpartum, newborns, or exercise.

Diagnosis of exclusion; excluding other reasons for eosinophilia.

Increased neutrophil counts due to certain drugs, such as corticosteroids or exposure to toxins.

Increased number of white blood cells in the blood.

Decreased number of white blood cells in the blood.

Protection against disease, primarily outside the bloodstream.

Process of engulfing and destroying foreign invaders by cells (like neutrophils and monocytes).

WBCs sticking to the blood vessel walls.

WBCs leaving the blood vessels to go to the infection site.

4000-11,000 per microliter of blood.

Severe neutropenia with very low neutrophil count.

Conditions like infections, stress, certain cancers (like aplastic anemia and leukemia), and treatments with drugs that impact bone marrow cells lead to a low monocyte count.

Basophilia, an elevated basophil count, can arise from various causes, including surgical complications, specific infections, inflammatory disorders, and certain cancers like leukemia.

Inherited genetic mutation causing neutrophils to have unusual shapes (bilobed, etc.). Usually a harmless finding.

Genetic condition causing abnormal neutrophils and impaired lysosomal digestion, leading to issues with pigment and bleeding disorders, especially in children.

An autosomal recessive disorder causing abnormal neutrophil function. Neutrophils can't effectively kill microorganisms due to a lack of a critical process.

Genetic disorder affecting white blood cell adhesion. This impacts their ability to migrate and fight infection.

Problems with the function or structure, rather than the number, of white blood cells.

Cells of the immune system which play a critical role in defending the body against pathogens.

Certain infections can cause changes in the numbers and/or functioning certain types of white blood cells.

Increased lymphocyte count, due to various infections, chronic conditions, or other factors.

Infections like infectious mononucleosis, hepatitis, and cytomegalovirus, are associated with lymphocytosis.

Examples are tuberculosis or brucellosis, which are linked to increased lymphocyte count.

A cancer in which there are an abundance of abnormal lymphocytes and is a reason for a condition called lymphocytosis.

Increased lymphocyte count, but not necessarily from illness; this can be linked to age or conditions.

An acute viral infection characterized by symptoms like fever, fatigue, and sore throat. A key factor for increased lymphocytes.

A virus causing Infectious mononucleosis.

Increased monocytes(a type of white blood cells) count, often seen during chronic inflammation.

Symptoms such as fever, malaise, fatigue, sore throat, and potentially splenomegaly (enlarged spleen).
