Neutrophil pools
Marrow (95%) dividing = 25% storage = 75% Blood (5%) marginal = 50% circulating = 50%
Neutrophil count
Normal range = 2.0 - 8.0 x 109/L Physiologic variations: Hormone-related ( in pregnancy and menstruation, after menopause) Diurnal variation (evening > morning) Miscellaneous stuff (stress, smoking, and alcohol use all count)

Proliferation of mature neutrophils
Infection. Look for toxic changes: Toxic granulation Dhle bodies Cytoplasmic vacuolization Inflammation Malignant disease Metabolic disease Redistribution

Lymphocyte count
Normal range varies with age. Highest in infants (at 2 weeks: 2.0 - 17.0 x 109/L) Intermediate in children (at age 4: 2.0 - 8.0 x 109/L) Lowest in adults (by age 18: 1.0 - 4.0 x 109/L) Normal immunophenotype of blood lymphocytes: T cells: 60 - 80% B cells: 10 - 20% 00000000NK cells: 5 - 10%

Proliferation of Mature Lymphocytes
Infectious lymphocytosis (lymphocyte count = 35 100 x 109/L) Whooping cough (Bordetella pertussis) (lymphocyte count = 10 55 x 109/L) Transient stress lymphocytosis (lymphocyte count = 6 8 x 109/L)

Lymphoid Leukocytoses
Reactive lymphocytosis Increased number of atypical lymphocytes. Most commonly occurs in young patients (<40). Mature lymphocytosis Increased number of mature lymphocytes. Most commonly occurs in very young patients (<14). Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) Monomorphous population of mature-appearing lymphocytes. Generally occurs in older patients (>40).
O THER L EUKOCYTOSES
Monocytosis
Normal = 0.3 - 0.5 x 109/L Monocytosis may be associated with malignancies, autoimmune disease, and infection. Normal = 0.01 - 0.1 x 109/L Basophilia: always rule out CML! Normal = 0.05 - 0.3 x 109/L Frequent causes of eosinophilia: Drug allergies Bronchial asthma Skin diseases Occasional causes: Intestinal parasitism Chronic ulcerative colitis Chronic active hepatitis Sarcoidosis
