Basophils and mast cells are white blood cells that release histamine and promote inflammation. Histamine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, causing vasodilation and increased vascular permeability to allow immune cells to reach the site of infection or injury.

Name three types of white blood cells?

There are five types of white blood cells (Leukocytes) Such as: 1. Neutrophils ( 54-62% of white blood cells) This WBC type is the first to arrive on site of an infection to ingest bacteria, virus particles, and fungi. 2. Eosinophils (about 3% of WBC) They keep control of allergy reactions and fight against parasitic worm infestations. 3. Basophils (less than 1% of WBC) They promote blood flow and inflammation by releasing their granules that consist of histamine/ heparin into the damanged tissue. 4. Monocytes ( 2-8% of WBC) Some of them develope into macrophages that phagocytose bacteria and debris in the tissue. 5. Lymphocytes (25-33% of the WBC) They are our important immunity cells

Why low WBC count in typhoid?

That is a very good question! You normally have high white blood cell count in bacterial infections. This rise in count is there to to promote the phagocytosis by white blood cells. But you have low WBC count in viral fevers, in rickettsial infections, in chlamydia infections, in malaria and in typhoid fever. They are all the intracellular infection. So rise in WBC can not help to kill the microorganisms by phagocytosis.
