Definitions |
Leukocytosis represent an increase in the number of leukocytes (white blood cells) above the normal range in the blood. It is used in histology to describe blood vessels enriched in white blood cells. This finding is usually associated with inflammation and/or infection, however it can be associated to other non-inflammatory causes (blood tumors, strenuous exercise, convulsions such as epilepsy, emotional stress, pregnancy and labour, anesthesia, and epinephrine administration) [url:http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MC_2000755] Leukocytosis has been considered only for increased leukocytes in the vessels, and not for leukocytes infiltrating the tissues. Those synonyms have been mapped in the respective inflammatory cell infiltration/inflammation child terms[url:http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MC_2000755] |
