1. Shift/physiologic/pseudoneutrophilia
a. Redistribution of the blood pools cause a short-term increased in
the total WBC count and in the absolute number of neutrophils in the
circulating granulocyte pool.
b. Caused by exercise, stress, pain, pregnancy
c. It is not a response to tissue damage. The total blood
granulocyte pool in the body has not changed. The bone marrow
has not released immature neutrophils. There are no toxic changes.
And there is no shift to the left.
2. Pathologic neutrophilia
a. Neutrophils leave the circulating pool, enter the marginating pool,
and then move to the tissues in response to tissue damage.
b. Bone marrow reserves are released to replenish the circulating
pool. The WBC count can increase up to 50.0

the neutrophils.
4.Leukoerythroblastic reaction
a. Presence of immature leukocyte and immature (nucleated)
erythrocytes in the blood
b. Occurs in marrow replacement disorders, such as myelofibrosis
5. Neutropenia
a. Decrease in absolute number of neutrophils; risk of infection
increases as neutropenia worsens

Nitroblue
(NBT)
1) Both sex-linked and autosomal recessive inheritance with the ratio
of affected males to females being 6:1
2) Morphological normal, but functionally abnormal because of
enzyme deficiency that results in an inability to degranulate,
with causes inhited bactericidal function.
3) Fatal early in life
b. Chdiak-Higashi syndrome
1) Autosomal recessive disorder causes large, gray-green,
peroxidase positive granules in the cytoplasm of leukocytes;
abnormal fusion of primary and secondary neutrophilic granules
2) Both morphologically and functionally abnormal leukocyte;
WBCs unable to degranulate and kill invading bacteria

4) Fatal early in life
c. Jobs syndrome
1) normal random activity but characterized by abnormal
chemotactic/directional activity
d. Lazy Leukocyte Syndrome
1) Abnormal random activity and abnormal chemotactic activity
11. Nuclear abnormalities of neutrophils
a. Hypersegmentation characterized by 6 or more lobes in the
neutrophil;
b. Alder-Reilly anomaly
1) Autosomal recessive inheritance
2) Large azurophilic granules appear in cytoplasm of all or only
one cell line. Granules contain degraded mucopolysaccharides
due to an enzyme defect.
3) Morphologically abnormal, but functionally normal
4) Must differentiate from toxic granulation present in
neutrophils only in infectious conditions
Nonmalignant Monocytic Disorders
1. Monocytosis
a. Increase in the absolute number of monocyte associated with:
1) Recovery stage from acute bacterial infections and recovery
following marrow suppression by drugs
2) Tuberculosis, syphilis, subacute bacterial endocarditis
3) Autoimmune
