Description
Under normal conditions, we distinguish 5 types of white blood cells, given as the so-called expanded blood formula, i.e. the number of each type of blood cell per unit volume, i.e.:
– neutrophils
– acidophilic granulocytes (eosinophils)
– basophilic granulocytes (basophils)
– lymphocytes
– monocytes.
The blood smear is given in % – this is the so-called "manual" blood smear (Schilling formula)
– neutrophils
