Monocytosis is an increase in the number of monocytes circulating in the blood. [1] Monocytes are white blood cells that give rise to macrophages and dendritic cells in the immune system. In humans, monocytosis occurs when there is a sustained rise in monocyte counts greater than 800/mm 3 to 1000/mm 3 .
Human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis [1] is a form of ehrlichiosis associated with Ehrlichia chaffeensis. [2] This bacterium is an obligate intracellular pathogen affecting monocytes and macrophages . [ 3 ]
In mice, monocytes can be divided in two subpopulations. Inflammatory monocytes (CX3CR1 low, CCR2 pos, Ly6C high, PD-L1 neg), which are equivalent to human classical CD14 ++ CD16 − monocytes and resident monocytes (CX3CR1 high, CCR2 neg, Ly6C low, PD-L1 pos), which are equivalent to human non-classical CD14 + CD16 + monocytes. Resident ...
Monocytopenia is a form of leukopenia associated with a deficiency of monocytes. It has been proposed as a measure during chemotherapy to predict neutropenia, [1] though some research indicates that it is less effective than lymphopenia. [2]
The 13 serotypes of L. monocytogenes can cause disease, but more than 90% of human isolates belong to only three serotypes: 1/2a, 1/2b, and 4b. L. monocytogenes serotype 4b strains are responsible for 33 to 35% of sporadic human cases worldwide and for all major foodborne outbreaks in Europe and North America since the 1980s. [15]
The monoblast is the first stage of monocyte-macrophage maturation. The developmental stages of the monoblast are: CFU-GM (pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or hemocytoblast) -> monoblast -> promonocyte-> monocyte-> macrophage/dendritic cell. During their development, monocytes are present in large packs in all of the lymph nodes in the body ...
Monocytosis present for ≥3 months and other causes of monocytosis have been ruled out; WHO defined CMML has two main subsets, CMML-1 and CMML-2. CMML-1 is diagnosed if myeloblasts, monoblasts and promonocytes are <5% of peripheral blood and <10% of bone marrow. CMML-2 is diagnosed if: Myeloblasts, monoblasts or promonocytes are 5-19% in blood, or
These cells consist of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes, whereas erythrocytes and platelets have no nuclei, and granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) have multi-lobed nuclei. In humans, lymphocytes make up the majority of the PBMC population, followed by monocytes, and only a small percentage of dendritic ...
