  2. Lymphocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocytosis

    Lymphocytosis is a feature of infection, particularly in children. In the elderly, lymphoproliferative disorders, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphomas, often present with lymphadenopathy and a lymphocytosis. [citation needed] Causes of absolute lymphocytosis include:

  3. Lymphoproliferative disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoproliferative_disorders

    The T cell variations are usually caused by the prolonged use of T cell suppressant drugs, such as sirolimus, tacrolimus, or ciclosporin. [2] The Epstein-Barr virus , which infects >90% of the world population, is also a common cause of these disorders, being responsible for a wide range of non-malignant, pre-malignant, and malignant Epstein ...

    The symptoms of DRESS syndrome usually begin 2 to 6 weeks but uncommonly up to 8–16 weeks after exposure to an offending drug. Symptoms generally include fever, an often itchy rash which may be morbilliform or consist mainly of macules or plaques, facial edema (i.e. swelling, which is a hallmark of the disease), enlarged and sometimes painful lymph nodes, and other symptoms due to ...

  5. Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis - Wikipedia

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

    Individuals with MBL usually present with unexplained increases in blood lymphocyte counts (i.e. lymphocytosis). The most common causes for lymphocytosis are viral infections, autoimmune diseases (particularly connective tissue diseases), hypersensitivity reactions, acute stress reactions, and prior splenectomy. [9]

  6. Reactive lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_lymphocyte

    Reactive lymphocytes are usually associated with viral illnesses, but they can also be present as a result of drug reactions (such as phenytoin), immunizations, radiation, and hormonal causes (such as stress and Addison's disease), as well as some autoimmune disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis). [7] Some pathogen-related causes include: [6]

  7. Lymphocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocytopenia

    In B lymphocytopenia, there are too few B lymphocytes, but possibly normal numbers of other lymphocytes. It causes, and manifests as, a humoral immune deficiency. This is usually caused by medications that suppress the immune system. [citation needed] In NK lymphocytopenia, there are too few natural killer cells, but normal numbers of other ...

  8. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemophagocytic_lymphohist...

    It is a life-threatening disease of severe hyperinflammation caused by uncontrolled proliferation of benign lymphocytes and macrophages that secrete high amounts of inflammatory cytokines. It is classified as one of the cytokine storm syndromes. There are inherited and non-inherited (acquired) causes of HLH.

  9. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_lymphoprolife...

    It is mostly well tolerated (though side effects include mucositis, diarrhea, hyperlipidemia, delayed wound healing) with drug-drug interactions. It has better activity against autoimmune disease and lymphoproliferation than mycophenolate mofetil and other drugs; however, sirolimus requires therapeutic drug monitoring and can cause mucositis.
