What are basophils 100 leukocytes Blood test?

Basophils are a type of white blood cell, specifically a granulocyte, that plays a role in the immune response and inflammation. They contain granules filled with histamine and other chemicals that are released during allergic reactions and infections. In a blood test, basophils are typically reported as a percentage of total leukocytes (white blood cells) and can provide insights into allergic responses, chronic inflammation, and certain medical conditions. A normal range for basophils is usually low, often less than 1% of total leukocytes.


Is it true basophils are red blood cells that increase in response to allergic reactions?

No, basophils are actually a type of white blood cell, not red blood cells. Basophils play a role in allergic reactions by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators. Increased basophil levels can be seen in response to allergic reactions.


What is the meaning of basophils?

Basophils are white blood cells with large dark blue granules. They are involved in allergic reactions


What type of white blood cells produce histamine?
