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.
Joint deformity develops with injuries, inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the joints, is a consequence of congenital anomalies. It is formed in the outcome of diseases, traumatic injuries. It can be detected in the area of one, several or many joints, accompanied by pain, lameness, limitation of movement. The cause of the symptom is established according to the survey, physical examination, radiography, ultrasound of the joints, CT, MRI, laboratory tests. Treatment includes NSAIDs, chondroprotectors, and other means.
Facial pain (prosopalgia) is a clinical term that combines all pain syndromes localized in the facial region. Prosopalgia can be neurogenic, vascular, symptomatic, myogenic, psychogenic and atypical. During the diagnosis, on the basis of the characteristics of the pain phenomenon, the type of prosopalgia is established; to identify its cause, an ophthalmological, otolaryngological, neurological, dental, and psychological examination is performed. Depending on the type and etiology of prosopalgia, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, corticosteroid, sedative and psychotropic pharmaceuticals are used in the treatment.
Monocytosis is a pathological condition in which there is an increase in the content of monocytes more than 1000 in 1 µl of blood. The causes are infectious, inflammatory, and oncohematological diseases. In children, infectious mononucleosis is the most common cause. There are no specific symptoms. The clinical picture is determined by the underlying pathology. The level of monocytes is examined in capillary or venous blood when calculating the leukocyte formula. To return monocytes to reference values (from 1 to 10%), the disease that served as a background for the occurrence of monocytosis is treated.
Neutrophilia (neutrophilia, neutrophilic leukocytosis) is an increase in the content of neutrophils over 6500 (in a child under 6 years old over 4500) in 1 μl of blood. 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.
