• TEST: Total White Cell Count
• USE: White blood cells or leucocytes fight infection and defend the body by phagocytosis, a process in which the leucocytes encapsulate foreign organisms. They also produce, transport and distribute antibodies as part of the immune response. White blood cells can be differentiated into neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leucocytes), lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. WBC count determines the total number of white blood cells circulating in the blood. Variation in count can occur in the same individual at different times, such as during the menstrual cycle, normal human development, activity and others.
  Use of Test: Possible infection, inflammatory disease, bone marrow failure, haematological or other malignancy. Monitoring drugs with potential or predictable bone marrow toxicity.
