White Blood Cells

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 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.

Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL)

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare blood cancer characterized by abnormal white blood cells. Learn about symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse group of cancers of the lymphatic system. Unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL encompasses various subtypes based on lymphocyte type (B-cell or T-cell) and growth rate (slow-growing or aggressive).

Abnormal White Blood Cell Morphology

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.

White Blood Cells (WBCs)

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.
