Implications:
WBC Count
Increased – leukemia, bacterial infection.
Decreased – viral infection
Lymphocytes
Increased – is usually a sign of a viral infection (in some rare cases, leukemias
are found through an abnormally raised lymphocyte count in an otherwise normal
person). A general increase in the number of lymphocytes is known as lymphocytosis.
Decreased – occurs when the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) hijacks and
destroys T cells (specifically, the CD4+ subgroup of T lymphocytes). A general decrease
in the number of lymphocytes is known as lymphocytopenic.
Eosinophils, Monocytes, Basophils
Increased – acute infectious disease – predominantly in the neutrophilic fraction
with bacterial diseases and in the lymphocytic and monocytic fractions in viral diseases,
collagen diseases, allergy, and parasitosis.
Decreased – aplastic anemia, agrunolocytosis.
RBC Count
Increased – anorexia, dehydration.
] Decreased – leukemia, hemorrhage.
Hemoglobin (Hgb)
Increased – polycythemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, failure of
oxygenation because of congestive heart failure.
Decreased – anemia, severe or prolong hemorrhage.
Hematocrit (Hct)
Increased – erythrocytosis, hemoconcentration associated with shock.
Decreased – anemia, blood loss.
Platelet Count
Increased – malignancy, postoperatively, rheumatoid arthritis.
Decrease – thrombocytopenic purpura, acute leukemic aplastic anemia, infection.
