neutrophils
What are neutrophils 100 leukocytes on a blood test?
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells (leukocytes) in humans ; they account for approximately 50-70% of all white blood cells . Neutrophils 100 leukocytes means what percentage of the many different types of white blood cells per 100 counted were neutrophils. Neutrophils are one of the first-responders of inflammatory cells to migrate towards the site of inflammation, particularly as a result of bacterial infection, fungus infection, environmental exposure, and some cancers; Neutrophils are what give pus it's yellowish color.
What are the cause of and effect of high segmenters?
High levels of segmenters, or neutrophils, in the blood may indicate an infection, inflammation, or stress on the body. The body produces more neutrophils to fight off the underlying cause. Monitoring segmenters can help identify and address these underlying issues.

neutrophils.
What does low segs means?
Low segs means that a person has a low number of "segmented neutrophils." These are the most abundant white blood cells that attack infection and inflammation.
What does it mean if your white blood cells and neutrophils are high?
If your white blood cell count is high, this shows an infection, usually bacterial. If your neutrophil count is also high, this shows an acute infection, whereas if your macrophage count were to be high, this would show a chronic infection. An acute infection or inflammation means that it has had a duration of usually less than 2 weeks. A chronic infection lasts longer than 2 weeks. The difference is that the neutrophils are the first responders to inflammation and infection, then come the macrophages. The neutrophils have a shorter lifespan and the macrophages can live for a long time fighting infection. This is how you get the higher count of neutrophils with an acute infection, and the higher macrophages with chronic infection.

What is The first phagocytic cells to arrive at the site of a bacterial infection?
