Basophil Count

Aka: Basophil Count, Basophil, Basophilia
  1. See Also
    1. Complete Blood Count
  2. Characteristics
    1. Forms in Bone Marrow from Myeloblasts as with other Granulocytes (Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Monocytes)
    2. Basophil granules contain Heparin, vasoactive amines (histamines, 5-Hydroxytryptamine)
      1. Released agents increase vascular permeability, allowing inflammatory agents to reach injured tissue
    3. Function: Immediate Allergic Response
      1. Similar mechanism of action to Mast Cells
      2. Related to delayed Hypersensitivity response
      3. Activated on binding IgE-Antigen complexes via high affinity receptors (FceRI)
      4. Activation results in release of inflammatory mediators contained in its secretory granules
        1. Immediate release of preformed mediators (e.g. Histamine, Bradykinin) within first 5 minutes
        2. Leukotriene C4 released within 5-30 minutes, and results in bronchoconstriction
        3. Releases Cytokines TNF-alpha and IL4 within hours
        4. Chemotactic factors attract Neutrophil, Eosinophil
  3. Labs: Morphology on Blood Smear
    1. Granulocyte cytoplasm stains darkly with Wright Stain
    2. Two lobed nucleus
    3. Diameter: 5-7 microns
  4. Interpretation: Normal Levels
    1. Range: 0.4-1.0% (Least common Leukocyte)
  5. Causes: Increased Basophils (Basophilia)
    1. Viral Infections (e.g. Varicella)
    2. Hodgkin's Lymphoma
    3. Hemolytic Anemia
    4. Following splenectomy
    5. Myeloproliferative disease
      1. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
      2. Polycythemia Vera
      3. Myelofibrosis
    6. Inflammatory processes
      1. Inflammatory Bowel Disease
      2. Chronic dermatitis
      3. Asthma
      4. Chronic Sinusitis
    7. Endocrine causes
      1. Hypothyroidism
      2. Increased Estrogen
  6. Causes: Decreased Basophils
    1. Stress
    2. Hypersensitivity Reaction
    3. Corticosteroids
    4. Pregnancy
    5. Hyperthyroidism

Basophils (C0004827)

Definition (MSHCZE) Bazofilní granulocyt. Druh bílé krvinky (leukocytu), jehož funkce není zcela jasná, snad ovlivňuje srážení krve v místě zánětu. Při vyšetření diferenciálu je b. nejméně četným druhem, krvinka se „ráda“ barví zásaditým barvivem. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A type of immune cell that has granules (small particles) with enzymes that are released during allergic reactions and asthma. A basophil is a type of white blood cell and a type of granulocyte.
Definition (MSH) Granular leukocytes characterized by a relatively pale-staining, lobate nucleus and cytoplasm containing coarse dark-staining granules of variable size and stainable by basic dyes.
Definition (CSP) granular leukocytes characterized by a relatively pale-staining, lobate nucleus and cytoplasm containing coarse dark-staining granules of variable size and stainable by basic dyes; contain vasoactive amines such as histamine and serotonin, which are released on appropriate stimulation.
