Neutrophil Count
Neutrophil Count
Aka: Neutrophil Count, Neutrophil, Absolute Neutrophil Count, Neutrophilic Leukocyte, Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte, PMN, PMN Count, Neutrophilia, Stress Leukocytosis, Band Neutrophil, Left Shift, Demargination
II. Definitions
Left ShiftIncreased number of immature Neutrophils (band forms)Suggests acute inflammation
III. Characteristics
from s as with other s (s, s, s)
Function: Primary defense against Phagocytizes and digests microorganismsResponds to several sources of chemotaxins released Interleukin and Mast Cell released Histamine Induced Complement Activation
Morphology on Blood Smear with neutral staining on Wright StainNucleus with 3 to 5 lobes connected by thin chromatinCytoplasm with fine granules
IV. Interpretation: Normal Count
Range: 50-70% of s
Bands: 2-6% of s
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) &1500 Neutrophils/mm3
V. Causes: Decreased Neutrophils
VI. Causes: Increased (Neutrophilia) - ANC & 7500/mm3
(and other infections)
Reactive Neutrophilia (Physiologic Increase, Demargination)Release of cells in marginal poolMediated by stress (Stress Leukocytosis)sAnxiety usePost-operative state
Tissue Injury
Chronic InflammationRheumatic diseaseChronic Hepatitis
Metabolic conditionKetoacidosis
Myeloproliferative disorderMyelocytic Myeloid metaplasia
Miscellaneous causesAcute Splenectomy ( may persist for months)Immune
NeoplasmsMetastatic cancer
Congenital adhesion deficiency
MedicationssBeta agonistsColony-Stimulating factors
VII. Evaluation: Neutrophilia (Neutrophils &7000/mm3)
Consider history and potential causesTravel and contagious contactsSocial historyNew medications
Diagnostics (consider)Infection source evaluations (2 sets or if SBE suspected, 3 sets)Acute phase reactants (ESR) ()Other labsRheumatologic studies (e.g. )

Definition (NCI)
Granular leukocytes having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by slender threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing fine inconspicuous granules and stainable by neutral dyes.
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS)
A type of immune cell that is one of the first cell types to travel to the site of an infection. Neutrophils help fight infection by ingesting microorganisms and releasing enzymes that kill the microorganisms. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte, and a type of phagocyte.
