Answers:
basophilia (Increase of Basophils in the blood)
Increased basophils (> 0.1 x 10^9/l) seen in:
* viral infections
* urticaria
* post-splenectomy
* myxoedema
* ulcerative colitis
* systemic mastocytosis
* malignancy (Basophilia is also uncommon but may be seen in some forms of leukaemia or lymphoma.)
* myeloproliferative disorders:
# chronic myeloid leukaemia
# myelofibrosis
# polycythaemia rubra vera
* haemolysis
Basophilia does not characteristically occur in secondary polycythaemia.
Note that excessive basophilia in chronic myeloid leukaemia may indicate the transformation into an accelerated or 'blastic' phase.
