neutrophil

a medical finding that indicates an increase in immature, or "baby," neutrophils in the bloodstream, often caused by the bone marrow releasing them early to fight infection or inflammation. This is a sign that the body's demand for neutrophils is high, outpacing the supply of mature cells, and can signify an active infection or inflammatory process.
