Reactive thrombocytosis is an increase in platelet
count in response to a stimulus. There are several
causes of reactive thrombocytosis, including acute
bleeding and blood loss, allergic reactions, cancer,
infections, some types of anemia, major surgery,
splenectomy, and some types of medications. Treat-
ment of reactive thrombocytosis is directed at the
underlying cause and platelet counts usually return to
normal once the underlying condition is brought
under control. An increased risk of blood clots can
occur once the platelet count is 1emillion mm3 (NL
= 150,000-450,000 mm3). Topic: Assessment and

B. B-cell lymphocytes.
B cells are involved in antibody formation. Delaying the
hypersensitivity response is a primary function of T-
cell lymphocytes. Granulocytes and monocytes are
involved in the phagocytosis of circulating de- bris
and pathogens, such as bacteria or fungi. Topic:
