on staining properties: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. They can be beneficial in a
selected population of infected, severely granulocytopenic clients (less than 500/mm3) who
do not respond to antibiotic therapy and who are expected to experience prolonged
suppression of granulocyte production. Physiological Adaptation
