Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC)

The Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) test at Pamel Laboratories provides a detailed analysis of the different types of white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood. Each type of white blood cell plays a unique role in protecting the body against infections, allergies, and other immune responses.

This test breaks down the total white blood cell count into percentages and absolute counts of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, helping healthcare providers pinpoint the cause of abnormal immune activity and tailor treatments accordingly.

Purpose of the Test:

• Diagnose and monitor infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic)

• Detect immune system disorders and allergic reactions

• Assist in diagnosing blood cancers like leukemia

• Track response to medications or ongoing treatments

• Support investigations of chronic inflammation or unexplained illness

Cell Types Analyzed:

• Neutrophils: Fight bacterial infections

• Lymphocytes: Key for viral defense and immune memory

• Monocytes: Help remove pathogens and dead cells

• Eosinophils: Active in allergies and parasitic infections

• Basophils: Involved in allergic and inflammatory responses

Normal Range (Relative %):

• Neutrophils: 40–70%

• Lymphocytes: 20–40%

• Monocytes: 2–8%

• Eosinophils: 1–6%

• Basophils: 0–1%
