| physiologic leukocytosis | Any form of leukocytosis that is associated with apparently normal situations and that is not directly related to a pathologic condition; e.g., the temporary increase in the total number of white blood cells that may occur during a single day, or from day to day, as well as in the newborn period, during childhood, after strenuous exercise, during attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia, and in association with various other situations. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| monocytic leukocytosis | An abnormal increase in the number of monocytes in the circulating blood. Synonym: monocytic leukocytosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutrophilic leukocytosis | Too many neutrophils. (12 Dec 1998) |
| digestive leukocytosis | Leukocytosis occurring normally after ingestion of food. (05 Mar 2000) |
| distribution leukocytosis | An abnormally large proportion of one or more types of leukocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal leukocytosis | One that occurs in a person just prior to death, especially in one who has a "slow death." Synonym: agonal leukocytosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic leukocytosis | A form of relative leukocytosis in which the greatest proportionate increase is in the eosinophils. Synonym: eosinophilia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocytosis | A term used to describe an abnormal elevation on the white blood cell count. Normal white blood cell counts are variable with age and sex. Normal adult range is 4, 500 to 11,000 cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Slightly higher counts are seen in children. Elevated counts can be seen in cases of inflammation and infection. (27 Sep 1997) |
| leukocytosis of the newborn | An apparently "physiologic" leukocytosis usually observed in newborn infants, in whom the white blood cell counts are usually greater than 10,000 per cu mm, and sometimes range to 45,000 per cu mm, resulting chiefly from increased numbers of neutrophils (especially single and bilobed forms). On the third or fourth day of life, the count generally decreases rapidly, and then fluctuates for several days; beginning about the fourth week of life, a relative lymphocytosis is observed, and this normally continues for a few years. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocytosis-promoting factor | A substance obtained by Menkin from inflammatory exudates; it stimulates leukocytosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocytic leukocytosis | A condition in which the blood contains an unusually high number of normal lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
