When someone is admitted to the hospital, one of the first procedures heath care professional perform is a blood draw. One lab value checked is a white blood cell (WBC) count. If the WBC count is elevated (normal range=4,000-11,000/mm3), this could indicate the presence of inflammation. Further analysis (called a differential) is performed to determine the relative prevalence of different types of white blood cells and the potential cause of the inflammation. What might be causing the inflammation if neutrophils were elevated?

    The number of neutrophils in the blood may increase if there’s an infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This mostly occur to people who have injury, such as hip fracture of burn, and also to people who has inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.
