Infection. Bacteria? Virus? Parasite🪱🪱? Infection. Bacteria? Virus? Parasite? WBC (leukocytes) 1. Granulocytes-neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils-formed in the bone marrow. Often referred to as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) 2. Agranulocytes-monocytes and lymphocytes. Monocytes are formed in the bone marrow. Lymphocytes are from spleen, lymph glands, tonsils, thymus, and appendix. Life span can last anywhere between several hours to a few days. Lab Ranges Functional Ranges WBC 4000-11000 uL of blood 5000-8000 Neutrophils 35-70% 40-60% Lymphocytes 20-40% 25-40% Monocytes 2-8% 4-7% Eosinophils 1-4% Less than 3% Basophils 0.5-1% Less than 1% Low WBC-Chronic virus or bacterial infections. HIV, autoimmune disorders, bone marrow disorder, lupus, radiation, antibiotics, alcoholism, pancreatic insufficiency-WBC to breakdown food, raw food diet High WBC-acute infection, fever, allergies, pregnancy, medications, tissue damage, surgery. Neutrophil high with acute bacterial infection and inflammation Neutrophil low bone marrow disorder, chronic virus. Lymphocyte high-acute and chronic viral. Inflammation. Lymphocyte low-chronic infection, oxidative stress Monocytes high-increases towards end of infection, intestinal parasites, BPH Monocyte low-steroids Eosinophils high-intestinal parasites, food and environmental allergies, asthma Eosinophil low-steroids, adrenal stress Basophil high-non-specific inflammation, intestinal parasites Clinical pearl: 1. Increase WBC with increase neutrophil-likely acute bacterial 2. Increase WBC with increase lymphocytes-likely acute viral 3. Low WBC with increase neutrophil-likely chronic bacterial 4. Low WBC with increase lymphocyte-likely chronic bacterial 5. Elevated monocyte greater than 7 and eosinophil greater than 3 likely intestinal parasite.
