What are Lymphocytes?

  • Type of White Blood Cell: Lymphocytes are a crucial component of the immune system, responsible for fighting infections and maintaining immune responses.
  • Subtypes: There are three main types of lymphocytes:
    • B Cells: Produce antibodies to neutralize pathogens.
    • T Cells: Destroy infected or cancerous cells and help regulate immune responses.
    • Natural Killer (NK) Cells: Attack and destroy virus-infected cells and tumor cells.

Why is the Absolute Lymphocyte Count Done?

  1. Diagnosis: Helps diagnose and monitor conditions where lymphocyte levels may be elevated or decreased.
  2. Infections: Useful in evaluating the body's response to infections, especially viral infections.
  3. Immune System Disorders: Assesses immune function in conditions like autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency disorders, and lymphoproliferative disorders.
