Granulocyte transfusion is not indicated to prevent infection. Produced in the bone marrow, granulocytes
normally comprise 70% of all WBCs. They are subdivided into three types based 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
