Neutrophils are known for their ability to move quickly to sites of infection or inflammation, where they engulf and destroy invading microorganisms through a process called phagocytosis. They release antimicrobial substances and produce reactive oxygen species to eliminate pathogens effectively.
The measurement of neutrophils in a complete blood count (CBC) provides valuable information about a person's immune health. An increase in neutrophil count, known as neutrophilia, may indicate an acute bacterial infection, inflammation, or other conditions such as trauma or stress. Conversely, a decrease in neutrophil count, called neutropenia, may be associated with certain viral infections, bone marrow disorders, or chemotherapy-induced suppression of the immune system.
Monitoring neutrophil levels is crucial for assessing and diagnosing various health conditions, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies. It helps healthcare professionals evaluate the body's response to infection and determine the appropriate course of treatment.
