Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
White Blood Cells
Lymphopenia or Low Lymphocytes
Lymphopenia is a low lymphocyte count, weakening immunity. It increases infection risk and flags underlying issues like cancer or severe illness.
Monocytosis (High Monocytes)
Monocytosis: Elevated monocytes signal underlying health issues. Learn causes (infections, cancers), symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
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.
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.
Neutrophilia (High Neutrophils) & Absolute Neutrophilia
Discover causes & implications of high neutrophils, from general neutrophilia to absolute neutrophilia, a key blood cell elevation.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
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.
