  2. Reactive lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_lymphocyte

    Reactive lymphocyte surrounded by red blood cells. In immunology, reactive lymphocytes, variant lymphocytes, atypical lymphocytes, Downey cells or Türk cells are cytotoxic (CD8 +) lymphocytes that become large as a result of antigen stimulation. Typically, they can be more than 30 μm in diameter with varying size and shape.

  3. Toxic granulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_granulation

    Along with Döhle bodies and toxic vacuolation, which are two other findings in the cytoplasm of granulocytes, toxic granulation is a peripheral blood film finding suggestive of an inflammatory process. [1] Toxic granulation is often found in patients with bacterial infection and sepsis, [1] [2] although the finding is nonspecific. [3]

  4. Infectious mononucleosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_mononucleosis

    By blood film, one diagnostic criterion for infectious mononucleosis is the presence of 50% lymphocytes with at least 10% reactive lymphocytes (large, irregular nuclei), [45] while the person also has fever, pharyngitis, and swollen lymph nodes.

  5. White blood cell differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell_differential

    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 ...

  6. Lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocyte

    A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates. [1] Lymphocytes include T cells (for cell-mediated and cytotoxic adaptive immunity), B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity), [2] [3] and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs; "innate T cell-like" cells involved in mucosal immunity and homeostasis), of which natural killer cells are an ...

  7. Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Monoclonal_B-cell_lymphocytosis

    Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) is an asymptomatic condition in which individuals have increased blood levels of particular subtypes of monoclonal lymphocytes (i.e. an aberrant and potentially malignant group of lymphocytes produced by a single ancestral cell).

  8. Rouleaux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouleaux

    Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates. The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau.

  9. Sézary disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sézary_disease

    Sézary cell: pleomorphic abnormal T cell with the characteristic cerebriform nuclei (Peripheral blood - MGG stain) Sézary disease and mycosis fungoides are cutaneous T-cell lymphomas having a primary manifestation in the skin. [5] The disease's origin is a peripheral CD4+ T-lymphocyte, [3] although rarer CD8+/CD4- cases have been observed. [3]
