Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES)

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) is a rare disorder causing persistently high eosinophil levels, leading to organ damage and inflammation.

Leukemoid Reaction

Leukemoid reaction is a benign, reactive process with elevated LAP & no Philadelphia chromosome, unlike malignant CML.

Causes of Atypical Lymphocytes (Reactive Lymphocytes)

Atypical lymphocytes are activated immune cells, often seen in infections. Their unique look aids diagnosis, but distinguishing it from cancer is important.

Eosinophilic Asthma

White Blood Cells

Eosinophilic asthma is a severe subtype of asthma, driven by high eosinophil levels. It often resists standard treatments and may not be allergy-related.

Monocytosis (High Monocytes)

White Blood Cells

Monocytosis: Elevated monocytes signal underlying health issues. Learn causes (infections, cancers), symptoms, diagnosis, and management.

Lymphocytosis (High Lymphocytes)

White Blood Cells

Lymphocytosis: High lymphocyte count. It can be a harmless immune response or signal serious conditions like leukemia.

Leukopenia (Low White Cell Count)

White Blood Cells

Leukopenia: Low white blood cell count, weakening immunity. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of this condition.

Lymphadenopathy explained: Learn about swollen lymph nodes, their common causes (infections, inflammation, cancer), key symptoms, diagnostic tests (blood work, biopsy), and available treatment options. Understand when swollen glands are a cause for concern.
