lenfositoza

Lenfositoza is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, in the body. Lymphocytes play a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and attacking foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. In lenfositoza, the body's immune response is hyperactive, leading to an excess of lymphocytes.

There are several types of lenfositoza, including reactive lenfositoza, which occurs in response to infections or other stimuli, and chronic lenfositoza, which persists over a prolonged period. Reactive lenfositoza is often benign and resolves on its own, while chronic lenfositoza may require medical intervention.

Symptoms of lenfositoza can vary depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, fever, and weight loss. In some cases, lenfositoza may be asymptomatic, with the condition being detected during routine blood tests.

Diagnosis of lenfositoza typically involves a complete blood count (CBC) and a differential white blood cell count. Additional tests, such as imaging studies or biopsies, may be ordered to determine the cause of the lenfositoza and to rule out other conditions.

Treatment for lenfositoza depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary, as the condition may resolve on its own. However, in more severe cases, treatment may include medications to suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids, or therapies to target the underlying cause of the lenfositoza. In rare cases, lenfositoza may be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
