Myelocytes Blood Tests

Myelocytes are a type of immature white blood cell formed in the bone marrow. They are part of the development process of white blood cells called granulocytes, which help fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Myelocytes develop into more mature forms of white blood cells before they are released into the bloodstream to perform their immune functions. 

Normally, myelocytes are not found in the bloodstream; their presence there can indicate a bone marrow or immune system problem, such as an infection, inflammation, or a type of cancer like leukaemia.
