A machine generated percentage of the different types of white blood cells, usually split into granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.

Morphologically, the disease is characterized by a persistent peripheral blood monocytosis (always >1 x 109/L) that may exceed 80 x 109/L with monocytes typically accounting for >10% of the white blood cells.

Monocytes recognize a variety of microorganisms, especially gram-negative bacteria. Activated monocytes turn into macrophages that can engulf and destroy microorganisms and secrete a variety of cytokines that modulate the activity of other leukocytes.

Lymph nodes produce immune cells (such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells). They also filter the lymph fluid and remove foreign material, such as bacteria and cancer cells.

Other cells of the immune system are also liable to HIV attack. Called monocytes and macrophages, these cells may serve to transport the virus to the brain. They may also act as a long-term reservoir of infection.

MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES - A group of disorders characterized by low white blood cell counts, low platelet counts, and, in some cases, increased monocytes. The primary problem is in the bone marrow cellularity.

The white blood cell system is complex and includes five main types of cells: monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils. The last three, collectively known as granulocytes, are instrumental in destroying bacteria.

There are several types of white blood cells (WBCs) that normally appear in the blood: neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMNs), band cells (slightly immature neutrophils), T-type lymphocytes (T cells), B-type lymphocytes (B cells), monocytes, ...

For example, neutrophils which are the main constituent of pus, which also destroys bacteria, and monocytes and lymphocytes which also are important for the immune system. Basophils make heparin, an anti-clotting substance.

In 1990 another form of the disease, human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, was identified. The Ehrlichia organisms invade various white blood cells (see blood; immunity). E. chaffeensis invades monocytes; granulocytic Ehrlichia invades granulocytes.
