Leukocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) are blood cells which form an integral part of the immune system of the body. There are five types of WBCs with each of them having different functions. Differential Leukocyte Count Test measures the total number of all the WBCs in blood.
It determines the percentage of each type of leukocyte, which includes neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
White blood cells are a crucial part of the immune system and play a vital role in defending the body against infections and diseases. The differential leukocyte count helps identify any imbalances or abnormalities in the distribution of these cells, which can provide valuable diagnostic information.
For example, an increase in neutrophils, known as neutrophilia, may indicate an acute bacterial infection, while an elevation in lymphocytes, known as lymphocytosis, may suggest a viral infection or a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder.
Conversely, a decrease in white blood cell counts, such as neutropenia or lymphopenia, can indicate conditions like bone marrow disorders, immune deficiencies, or certain viral infections.
Interpreting the results of a differential leukocyte count requires clinical correlation and consideration of other laboratory findings and patient symptoms. It can aid healthcare professionals in making an accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatments for various health conditions.
In summary, a differential leukocyte count is a laboratory test that analyzes the different types of white blood cells in a blood sample. It helps identify imbalances or abnormalities in white blood cell levels, which can be indicative of specific infections, immune disorders, or other health conditions. The test serves as a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing various diseases.
