 | | Neutrophilia may be due to a number of acute and chronic causes: infection, inflammation, necrosis, physical agents, emotional stimuli, drugs, toxins, neoplasia, metabolic, hormonal, and endocrine disturbances, and hematologic abnormalities. |
 | | In addition to neutrophilia one may encounter specific increases in the number of lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes in the peripheral blood. |
 | | Toxoplasmosis may cause an lymphocytosis similar to infectious mononucleosis with atypical lymphocytes, fever, and lymphadenopathy. |
