Basopenia (a low basophil count) is difficult to demonstrate as the normal basophil count is so low; it has been reported in association with autoimmune urticaria [15] (a chronic itching condition). Basophilia is also uncommon but may be seen in some forms of leukemia or lymphoma.
Basophilia is the condition of having greater than 200 basophils/μL in the venous blood. [1] Basophils are the least numerous of the myelogenous cells, and it is rare for their numbers to be abnormally high without changes to other blood components.
A Basophil granulocyte stains dark purple upon H&E staining. Basophilic is a technical term used by pathologists. It describes the appearance of cells, tissues and cellular structures as seen through the microscope after a histological section has been stained with a basic dye. The most common such dye is haematoxylin.
A white blood cell differential is a medical laboratory test that provides information about the types and amounts of white blood cells in a person's blood. The test, which is usually ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC), measures the amounts of the five normal white blood cell types – neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils – as well as abnormal cell ...
Basopenia (or basocytopenia) is a form of agranulocytosis associated with a deficiency of basophils. [1] It has been proposed as an indicator of ovulation. [2] It is difficult to detect without flow cytometry, because normal levels are so low. [3]
Is it the future of health care—or too much data?
There are four types of granulocytes (full name polymorphonuclear granulocytes): [3] Basophils; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Mast cells; Except for the mast cells, their names are derived from their staining characteristics; for example, the most abundant granulocyte is the neutrophil granulocyte, which has neutrally staining cytoplasmic granules.
A peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) is any peripheral blood cell having a round nucleus. [1] These cells consist of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes, whereas erythrocytes and platelets have no nuclei, and granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) have multi-lobed nuclei.
