Absolute or relative increase of lymphocytes in the blood.
Abnormal increase in the number of circulating lymphocytes.
Lymphocytosis indicates increased numbers of circulating lymphocytes. Pathologic lymphocytosis occurs in chronic inflammation, recovery from acute infection, lymphocytic leukemia, and hypoadrenocorticism. Lymphocytosis usually indicates a strong immune stimulus of some chronic duration from a bacterial infection, viremia or immune-mediated disease. Lymphocytic leukemia may or may not be accompanied by lymphocytosis. Lymphocytosis not associated with disease occurs with physiologic leukocytosis, in healthy cats from excitement, immature age-related responses in young puppies and kittens, and sometimes following vaccination.
A relative or absolute increase in the number of circulating lymphocytes.
an increase in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, usually associated with chronic infections or inflammation.
an abnormal increase in the number of lymphocytes in the circulating blood
Elevation in the white blood count characterized by an increase in the circulating population of lymphocytes.
The condition of having abnormally high numbers of certain white blood cells called lymphocytes. See also -cytosis.
a condition in which the blood contains an abnormally high number of normal lymphocytes
Lymphocytosis is an increase in the number of lymphocytes in the blood. Lymphocytosis conventionally refers to a lymphocyte count greater than 4000 per microliter, however the number may be higher in infants and children. It is common in acute viral infections, including glandular fever, but it may also be seen with intracellular bacterial infections, such as in tuberculosis.
