WHAT DOES LEUCOCYTOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Leukocytosis

Leukocytosis is a white blood cell count above the normal range in the blood. It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory response, most commonly the result of infection, but may also occur following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors. It may also occur after strenuous exercise, convulsions such as epilepsy, emotional stress, pregnancy and labour, anesthesia, and epinephrine administration. There are five principal types of leukocytosis: ▪ Neutrophilia ▪ Lymphocytosis ▪ Monocytosis ▪ Eosinophilia ▪ Basophilia This increase in leukocytes is usually accompanied by a "left shift" in the ratio of immature to mature neutrophils. The proportion of immature leukocytes increases due to proliferation and release of granulocyte and monocyte precursors in the bone marrow which is stimulated by several products of inflammation including C3a and G-CSF. Although it may indicate illness, leukocytosis is considered a laboratory finding instead of a separate disease. This classification is similar to that of fever, which is also a test result instead of a disease.

Definition of leucocytosis in the English dictionary

The definition of leucocytosis in the dictionary is a gross increase in the number of white blood cells in the blood, usually as a response to an infection.
