Update: I found out that the test MUST have differential in order to see the neutrophils and lymph counts.
CBC without differential counts the total number of white blood cells.
CBC with differential. There are five kinds of white blood cells. The differential looks at how many of each kind of white blood cell you have.
CBC with differential. There are five kinds of white blood cells. The differential looks at how many of each kind of white blood cell you have.
There are five types of white blood cells:
Neutrophils: Help protect your body from infections by killing bacteria, fungi and foreign debris.
Lymphocytes: Consist of T cells, natural killer cells and B cells to protect against viral infections and produce proteins to help you fight infection (antibodies).
Eosinophils: Identify and destroy parasites, cancer cells and assists basophils with your allergic response.
Basophils: Produces an allergic response like coughing, sneezing or a runny nose.
Monocytes: Defend against infection by cleaning up damaged cells.
