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. Function: Allergic Response
      1. Similar mechanism of action to mast cells
      2. Related to delayed hypersensitivity response
      3. Triggered by IgE binding to antigen
      4. Releases inflammatory mediators
        1. Preformed mediators (e.g. Histamine, Bradykinin)
        2. New Mediators (e.g. Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes)
        3. Chemotactic factors attract Neutrophil, Eosinophil
    3. Morphology on Blood Smear
      1. Granulocyte cytoplasm stains darkly with Wright Stain
      2. Two lobed nucleus
  3. Interpretation: Normal Levels
    1. Range: 0.4-1.0% (Least common Leukocyte)
  4. Causes: Increased Basophils (Basophilia)
    1. Viral infections (e.g. Varicella)
    2. Hodgkin's Lymphoma
    3. Hemolytic Anemia
    4. Following splenectomy

      3. Asthma
      4. Chronic Sinusitis
    7. Endocrine causes
      1. Hypothyroidism
      2. Increased Estrogen
  5. Causes: Decreased Basophils
    1. Stress
    2. Hypersensitivity Reaction
    3. Corticosteroids

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.
