Document Summary
Agranulocyte disorders: infectious mononucleosis: highly contagious viral disease, epstein-barr virus or cytomegalovirus, symptoms include, large numbers of atypical lymphocytes, fatigue, general soreness, chronic sore throat, low-grade fever. Infectious mononucleosis (commonly called mono ) is caused by the. Epstein-barr virus (ebv; same virus that is linked to chronic fatigue syndrome or cfs) or by cytomegalovirus (cmv). Symptoms include large numbers of atypical (enlarged) lymphocytes, fatigue general soreness, chronic sore throat, and a low-grade fever). Agranulocytes: monocytes: phagocytic, fixed or wandering macrophages (topic 6, present antigens to lymphocytes, enhance scar formation, enhance axon regeneration, chronic infection (e. g. , tb) or inflammation. Many monocytes move into tissues where they become either fixed or wandering macrophages. Fixed macrophages remain in one place within tissues (e. g. , kupffer cells of the liver); wandering macrophages move through tissue and include macrophages of areolar connective tissue (see a&p i).
