Eosinopenia
Lymphocytosis
Lymphopenia
- Lymphopenia is a redcution in the numbers of lymphocytes in the blood.
- Occurs in:
- Viruses that attack the lymphoid system.
- For example:
- Canine Distemper
- Infectious Canine Hepatitis
- Feline Infectious Enteritis
- Bovine Virus Diarrhoea.
- For example:
- Irradiation
- Corticosteroid therapy.
- Selectively suppresses lymphocytic activity, and the inflammatory response in general.
- Viruses that attack the lymphoid system.
- Other immunosuppressive drugs may act in a similar way.
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.
