What Is This Test?
The Differential Leucocyte Count shows the percentage (and absolute numbers) of each type of white blood cell — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils.
Why this test is performed?
The pattern helps your doctor tell what kind of problem is likely — e.g., bacterial infection (high neutrophils), viral infection (high lymphocytes) or allergy/worms (high eosinophils).
Who should take this test?
Tiredness, weakness, pale skin, fever, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding; routine health check-ups.
Test Preparation
No fasting needed.
