Lymfocytární

Lymfocytární refers to a condition or process involving lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for the immune system. These cells are a major component of the lymphatic system and play a vital role in defending the body against pathogens like bacteria and viruses. When a condition is described as "lymfocytární," it typically indicates an increased number or specific activity of lymphocytes.

Lymfocytární can manifest in various ways. For instance, lymfocytární leukocytosis describes an elevated count of lymphocytes in the blood, which can be a sign of viral infections, certain types of leukemia, or other inflammatory conditions. Conversely, a decrease in lymphocytes, known as lymphocytopenia, can weaken the immune system, making an individual more susceptible to infections.

The presence of lymphocytes in other bodily fluids or tissues can also be described as lymfocytární. For example, lymfocytární meningitis refers to inflammation of the meninges where lymphocytes are the predominant inflammatory cells. This is often associated with viral or certain bacterial infections. Understanding the role and presence of lymphocytes is key to diagnosing and managing a range of medical conditions.
