What is "Neutrophils" & "Eosinophils" mean in a blood test?

Answer 1

Neutrophils and eosinophils are special types of white blood cells. In a CBC (complete blood count) the numbers will give the doctor a clue if there is an infection present and how well the body is fighting it.
Neutrophils are the most abundant of the WBCs. Neutrophils squeeze through the capillary walls and into infected tissue where they kill the invaders (e.g., bacteria) and then engulf the remnants by phagocytosis. (Fancy term for the cell surrounding the bacteria cell and absorbing it)
This is a never-ending task, even in healthy people: Our throat, nasal passages, and colon harbor vast numbers of bacteria. Most of these are commensals, and do us no harm. But that is because neutrophils keep them in check. However, heavy doses of radiation ,chemotherapy ,and many other forms of stress can reduce the numbers of neutrophils so that formerly harmless bacteria begin to proliferate. The resulting opportunistic infection can be life-threatening.
Eosinophils
The number of eosinophils in the blood is normally quite low (0–450/µl). However, their numbers increase sharply in certain diseases, especially infections by parasitic worms. Eosinophils are cytotoxic, releasing the contents of their granules on the invader. Basically an eosinophil is sort of your personal version of a suicide bomber. It locates the bacteria or whatever and detonates on contact. The release of the contents chemically tag the invader and call out to other white blood cells to come finish the job.

Answer 2

these are both figures in white blood cell differentiation. values of Neutraphils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and basophiles are:
60 40 8 3 0 ( + / - )

Certain diseases are characteristic for increasing or decreasing one or multiple of these numbers. They're significant to tell us what range of infectuous, cancerous, or autoimmune disease we might be up against.

Answer 3

Both are granular leukocytes (white blood cells). Increases, decreases, and ratios are indicative of a variety of problems.... there's just too many to list.

Answer 4

Answer 5

in my Haemogram report, my differential count of Neutrophils shown as 55%,whereas normal adult range is shown between 60-70%.
Similarly,Lymphocytes shown as 39%,whereas normal range is20-30%.Can anybody tell me the reason for short?excess counts and its impact on the body and cure please.

Answer 6

I have NO CLUE!!! Why don't you go on google and type it in and see what happens. I'm sure it will guide you to a good sight. Ask your doctor!
