CBC White Blood Cell Differential explained: Each WBC has a specific role, so we have to look at how much of each type to confirm what’s going on with our patient! Neutrophils: bacterial infection Lymphocytes: viral infection Monocytes: street sweepers! Eosinophils and basophils: allergy/immune response (and a whole bunch of other little things) Intended for educational purposes only. Always follow your local protocols. #ERNurse #EmergencyNurse #CEN #CFRN #CTRN #ICUNurse #NCLEX #NursingSchool #N
