| | Neutrophilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Neutrophilia (or neutrophil leukocytosis) is a condition where a person has a high number of neutrophil granulocytes in their blood. | | | CML (or chronic myeloid leukaemia) is a disease where the blood cells proliferate out of control. | | | A neutrophilia might also be the result of a malignancy. |

| | Section 5 Chapter VII Nonmalignant Disorders of Leukocytes |
| | Neutrophilia most often occurs secondary to inflammation, stress, or corticosteroid therapy. | | | When neutrophilia cannot be readily attributed to an infection or inflammatory condition or to glucocorticosteroid therapy, the possibility of a myeloproliferative disease should be considered. | | | Primary neutrophilia (i.e., neutrophilia attributed to defects in proliferation and maturation of neutrophil precursors) occurs in patients with myeloproliferative disorders, such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and polycythemia vera [see 5:V The Polycythemias]. |
