Within 1 week after receiving doxycycline, the patient's symptoms and hematologic abnormalities had resolved (neutrophil count 4,378 cells/[micro]L, no
band neutrophils, and platelet count of 320,000/[micro]L).
The elevated white blood cell count, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, increased presence of
band neutrophils, elevated concentrations of neutrophils and the increased concentration of acute phase proteins demonstrate this immune response.
Cells were pre-classified into:
band neutrophils, segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, metamyelocytes, myelocytes, promyelocytes, blast cells, lymphocyte variant forms and plasma cells.
On the following day, laboratory studies revealed leukopenia with lymphocytosis and absence of
band neutrophils, thrombocytopenia, decreased erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR), hyperbilirubinemia, mostly due to an increase in direct bilirubin, a large increase in liver enzymes levels, and anti-HIV serology and dengue fever antigen both negative.
There are 5 types of WBCs, each with different functions, that make up the differential: neutrophils (
band neutrophils and segmented neutrophils), monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
The white blood cell differential revealed the following values: 0.63 segmented neutrophils; 0.02
band neutrophils; 0.13 lymphocytes; 0.15 monocytes; 0.02 basophils; 0.03 myelocytes; and 0.02 metamyelocytes.
