**** Infectious Canine Hepatitis
 
**** Feline Infectious Enteritis

Lymphocytosis

Lymphopenia

Plasma Cells in Blood

  • Plasma cells are rarely observed in blood.


  • If many plasma cells are present in blood, it is due to a plasma cell tumour that has begun to metastasise.

Monocytosis

  • Monocytosis -is an increase in numbers of monocytes (haematogenous macrophages) in the blood.
  • Occurs:
    • In conjunction with neutrophilia in fear, excitement etc.
    • In the chronic stages of bacterial disease.
  • Monocytes very rarely behave as macrophages in the blood.
    • However, this is seen in cases of severe intravascular haemolysis of red blood cells where remnants of the RBC's are found in their cytoplasm.
