Monocytosis: Elevated monocytes signal underlying health issues. Learn causes (infections, cancers), symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
White Blood Cells
Lymphocytosis (High Lymphocytes)
Lymphocytosis: High lymphocyte count. It can be a harmless immune response or signal serious conditions like leukemia.
Leukopenia (Low White Cell Count)
Leukopenia: Low white blood cell count, weakening immunity. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Causes and Mechanisms
Hypersensitivity is an exaggerated, undesirable immune response to an antigen, causing tissue damage. It encompasses four types: IgE-mediated (allergies), cytotoxic, immune complex, and delayed cell-mediated reactions.
Basophilia (High Basophils)
Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
Basophilia (High Basophils)
Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
AL Amyloidosis (Primary Amyloidosis)
AL amyloidosis occurs when misfolded light-chain proteins deposit in organs. Prompt treatment improves outcomes.
Sjögren’s Syndrome
Sjögren’s syndrome: An autoimmune disease causing dry eyes, mouth. Systemic effects is possible. Early diagnosis & management are key.
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM): Rare lymphoma, excess IgM. Causes fatigue, neuropathy, & hyperviscosity. Early diagnosis & tailored treatment are key.
Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) process antigens & present them to T cells, triggering immune responses.
Natural Killer Cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital immune cells that provide rapid defense against infections and cancer. They recognize and eliminate stressed or infected cells without prior sensitization, playing a key role in immunosurveillance.
Burkitt Lymphoma
Burkitt Lymphoma is a rare cancer affecting children and adults. Key symptoms include rapidly growing tumors, often in the jaw or abdomen.
