leukopenia
what is the term for high WBC count
leukocytosis
what is neutropenia classically seen with
drug toxicity and severe infection
what can cause the eft shift with neutrophilic leukocytosis
bacterial infection and tissue necrosis because slightly immature neutrophils may be released (decreased Fc receptors)
