ABSTRACT

Background: at first, reference is made to non-published previous research, in which leucocytes count with leukocytosis´ importance and left deviation in diagnosing acute appendicitis from neutrophils is highlighted. It is a common and known situation in surgery by the working group that includes the student and the specialist.
Objective: to define concepts in connection with the behavior of leukocytosis with left deviation in acute appendicitis.
Development: taking into account the available literature, the definition of the word was reviewed in a simple way. From neutrophilous granulocytes and its increased young forms in acute appendicitis; normal figures of leukocytes, differential count, and left deviation concept according to Arneth were shown.
Conclusions: some national and international reports that mention the name from the diagnostic viewpoint were reviewed. From the reference sense, some are emphatic; unlike the other reports. Granulocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Lymphocytes and monocytes are not granulocytes. It is correct to say either segmented or neutrophils. However, if the term granulocytes or polymorphonuclear is used, then the word neutrophils should be added. Clearing up the meaning of the terms referred to is significant.
