Abnormal White Blood Cell Morphology

Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) morphology, seen in a blood smear analysis, can indicate various underlying conditions. These include infections, deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or folate, or even blood disorders.

Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are essential white blood cells that help protect the body from infections and diseases. They come in three main types: B cells, T cells, and NK cells, each with its unique role in the immune system.

Neutrophils

Neutrophils

Neutrophils are white blood cells crucial for fighting infections. They engulf and kill bacteria through phagocytosis. Learn about neutrophilia, neutropenia, and their role in immune health.

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies that help fight infection. In MM, plasma cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably. This can lead to bone pain, anemia, and other complications.
