High eosinophil count in blood. May indicate allergies, infections, or other conditions. Symptoms vary. Diagnosis via blood test.
White Blood Cells
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment Strategies
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment: TKIs are the main therapy, targeting the BCR::ABL1 gene. Chemotherapy & stem cell transplant are also used.
Neutrophilia (High Neutrophils) & Absolute Neutrophilia
Discover causes & implications of high neutrophils, from general neutrophilia to absolute neutrophilia, a key blood cell elevation.
Leukopenia (Low White Cell Count)
Leukopenia: Low white blood cell count, weakening immunity. Learn about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
Lymphadenopathy
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.
Monocytosis (High Monocytes)
Monocytosis: Elevated monocytes signal underlying health issues. Learn causes (infections, cancers), symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
JAK2 V617F Mutation Allele Specific PCR Protocol
Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
Abnormal WBC (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.
Leukocytosis
Leukocytosis: High white blood cells, body’s response to infection or inflammation. Not a disease itself.
White Blood Cells (WBCs)
White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are the body’s dedicated defense force. These diverse warriors, patrolling the bloodstream and tissues, play a crucial role in the immune system.
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF)
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) is a rare blood cancer affecting bone marrow, causing abnormal blood cell production & potential for enlarged spleen.
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by an abnormal increase in platelet production by the bone marrow.
