White Blood Cells

Neutropenia

Neutropenia is a condition with a low count of neutrophils, key infection-fighting white blood cells. This increases susceptibility to various infections.

Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono)

Infectious mononucleosis (Mono), the “kissing disease,” is a common viral illness (EBV). Symptoms include sore throat, fever, fatigue, and swollen glands. Usually resolves on its own.

Causes of Eosinophilia (High Eosinophils)

High eosinophil count in blood. May indicate allergies, infections, or other conditions. Symptoms vary. Diagnosis via blood test.

Monocytes

Monocytes

Monocytes are large white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and inflammation. Elevated or decreased monocyte counts can be indicative of various diseases.

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.
