Neutrophils in the general blood test (NEUT)
The most numerous representatives of "white" blood are neutrophilic formed elements. They are an obligatory parameter of the leukocyte formula. A healthy person should have a band-shaped (at the penultimate stage of maturation) and a fully mature segmented form of neutrophilic cells.

The opposite situation – neutropenia – indicates depression of the immune system and is fraught with the development of severe infectious conditions. Causes of neutropenia:
- Past viral diseases (polio, measles, rubella, hepatitis)
- Fungal infection
- Toxoplasmosis and other protozoan invasions
- Immune depletion due to chronic infectious and inflammatory processes
- Suppression of red bone marrow due to chemotherapy, radiation and cytostatic therapy
- Metastatic lesions
In a general analysis, neutrophils are examined when any signs of inflammation, anemia, when antibiotics and any other pharmaceutical drugs that affect the function of hematopoiesis are prescribed, as well as for prophylactic purposes annually.

About the disease
In case of pathology, even earlier precursors may enter the vascular bed: myelocytes and metamyelocytes (another name is young cells), which indicates a pronounced shift in the leukocyte formula to the left. Excessive content of mature formed elements is a shift to the right.
The normal value of band NEUT is 1-5%, segmented NEUT is 45-72%. An increase in the number (neutrophilia) is observed in:
Usually, neutrophilia is combined with global leukocytosis within 9-14*109/l.
