White blood cells contain monocytes and neutrophils, so high levels of these two types of cells can cause a high total white blood cell count. High monocytes and neutrophils may be associated with acute bacterial infections or blood disorders.
1. Neutrophils are the most common cells in the classification of white blood cells. Neutrophils can rapidly release hydrolyzing enzymes to phagocytose bacteria. Monocytes can resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms by phagocytosis and antibody production. When the body has an acute bacterial infection, the body will release neutrophils and monocytes, etc. to destroy the pathogens, so its increase will occur.
2. Elevated monocytes and neutrophils can also be seen in blood diseases such as monocytic leukemia, which may be due to ionizing radiation, heredity, and environmental carcinogens. This disease belongs to the bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell clonal disease, there will be anemia, fever, bleeding and other bone marrow hematopoietic function inhibition performance. Its monocytes and neutrophils are obviously high.
When monocytes, neutrophils and leukocytes are high, further examination should be conducted, combined with relevant information to make a comprehensive judgment, and the cause should be clarified under the guidance of physicians for timely treatment.
