Overview
Classification Scheme
Leukocytosis can be subcategorized by the type of white blood cell that is increased in number.
Granulocytosis / Neutrophilia
Granulocytosis or neutrophilia is a subcategory of leukocytosis in which neutrophil count is elevated.

Eosinophilia
Eosinophilia is a subcategory of leukocytosis in which eosinophil count is elevated.

Leukemoid Reaction
A leukocyte count of above 25 to 30 x 109/L is termed as leukemoid reaction. This occurs as a reaction of healthy bone marrow to extreme stress, trauma, or infection.
Leukemoid reaction is different from leukemia and from leukoerythroblastosis, in which immature blood cells are present in peripheral blood.
