Basophilia (basophilic leukocytosis) is an increase in the content of basophils more than 150 in 1 μl of blood or more than 1% of the total number of leukocytes. It often accompanies eosinophilia, since basophils and eosinophils are jointly involved in many pathological reactions. The causes of basophilia are allergic, inflammatory, oncohematological diseases. There are no specific manifestations, the clinical picture is determined by the underlying pathology. Measurement of the level of basophils is carried out in the general blood test. To eliminate basophilia, it is necessary to treat the disease against which it arose.

It is observed in a wide range of nosologies, especially bacterial and viral infections, systemic inflammatory pathologies of a rheumatic nature. There are no specific clinical manifestations. Symptoms are determined by the cause, i.e. disease, against the background of which leukocytosis developed. The level of leukocytes is measured when taking venous or capillary blood in the morning 12 hours after the last meal. The white blood cell count is part of a complete blood count. To correct leukocytosis, the underlying disease is treated.

The cause is bacterial infections, purulent-septic processes, inflammatory, oncological diseases. There are no specific clinical signs in neutrophilia, the symptoms depend on the underlying pathology. The level of neutrophils is determined as part of the calculation of the leukocyte hemogram formula. To correct neutrophilia, the disease against which it developed is treated.
Article • Read more →An increase in ESR is an excess of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the blood of more than 10 mm / h in men and 15 mm / h in women. Acceleration of ESR is a non-specific laboratory marker, it can be caused by infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune and oncological diseases. Very often occurs together with leukocytosis and fever. The main clinical picture is determined by the pathology, against which there was an increase in ESR. The ESR indicator is examined manually or automatically in venous or capillary blood, usually in the morning before meals and medications. To correct the indicator, the treatment of the disease that caused the increase in ESR is carried out.
Article • Read more →Eosinophilia (eosinophilic leukocytosis) is an increase in the blood level of eosinophils more than 500 in 1 μl of blood or more than 5%. Most often occurs in allergic reactions, parasitic invasions, may indicate severe lung diseases, oncological hematological pathologies. There are no specific manifestations. The clinical picture depends on the disease in which there is an increased content of eosinophils. The level of eosinophils is examined in venous or capillary blood by counting the leukocyte count in the general blood test. To correct eosinophilia, it is necessary to treat the disease that caused it.
