Human Gene Set: HP_ELEVATED_BRONCHOALVEOLAR_LAVAGE_FLUID_NEUTROPHIL_PROPORTION


Standard name HP_ELEVATED_BRONCHOALVEOLAR_LAVAGE_FLUID_NEUTROPHIL_PROPORTION
Systematic name M43535
Brief description Elevated bronchoalveolar lavage fluid neutrophil proportion
Full description or abstract Usually, Neutrophils make up less than 3% of all cells found in the broncho-alveloar lavage fluid. In children, standard value of neutrophils is higher depending on their age (children under the age of 5 show a maximum value of 10%). This elevated cell proportion is a sign for acute and chronic infections (HP:0012387, HP:0006538) and can be associated to specific diseases.
