Overview

Classification Scheme

Leukocytosis can be subcategorized by the type of white blood cell that is increased in number.

Granulocytosis / Neutrophilia

Granulocytosis or neutrophilia is a subcategory of leukocytosis in which neutrophil count is elevated.

Eosinophilia

Eosinophilia is a subcategory of leukocytosis in which eosinophil count is elevated.

Lymphocytosis

Lymphocytosis is a subcategory of leukocytosis in which lymphocyte count is elevated.

Leukemoid Reaction

A leukocyte count of above 25 to 30 x 109/L is termed as leukemoid reaction. This occurs as a reaction of healthy bone marrow to extreme stress, trauma, or infection.

Leukemoid reaction is different from leukemia and from leukoerythroblastosis, in which immature blood cells are present in peripheral blood.
