Is an absolute basophil count of 0.08 serious?

A slightly low basophil count of 0.08 is generally of no particular clinical significance and is therefore not considered serious. The normal range for basophils is generally (0.12-0.8) x 10^9/L. However, the normal range may vary from hospital to hospital depending on the instrumentation. Basophils are a type of leukocyte, accounting for 0%-1% of the total number of leukocytes, and are the least proportional granulocytes in the blood. The main function of basophils is to participate in the body’s allergic reaction. Clinically, when basophils appear to decrease, it is usually of no great clinical significance and can be followed up regularly. When basophils are increased, it is mostly seen in certain allergic diseases, such as allergic enteritis, drug allergy, food allergy, etc. It can also be seen in blood diseases, such as chronic granulocytic leukemia, myelofibrosis, basophilic leukemia, etc. In addition, malignant tumors or certain infections can also be seen in basophils. In addition, malignant tumors or certain infectious diseases can also cause an increase in the number of basophils. If there is a constant increase in the number of basophils or a high increase in the number of basophils, you can go to the hospital for advice and follow the doctor’s instructions.
