Differential white blood cell count
Differential white blood cell count, also known as a leukocyte count, is a crucial test to determine the different types of white blood cells present in the blood. The cells are classified into granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) and agranulocytes (lymphocytes, monocytes). Blood smear

Understanding White Blood Cells and Their Classification
White blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes, are vital elements of the blood responsible for protecting the body against invading organisms. They are classified into granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) and agranulocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes), each playing specific roles in the immune s

Understanding Differential and Total Leukocyte Count (DLC & TLC)
Differential and Total Leukocyte Count (DLC & TLC) is a crucial test that determines the percentage of different types of white blood cells in the total leukocyte population, aiding in diagnosing various disease processes. The test involves identifying and counting different types of white blood cel

Understanding Eosinophilia: A Comprehensive Approach
Eosinophilia is characterized by an increased number of eosinophils in the blood or tissues. This condition can be associated with various factors such as allergic reactions, infections, inflammation, and even neoplastic disorders. It is crucial to evaluate the root cause of eosinophilia and assess
