THE RATIONALE FOR THIS, I am assuming you lost blood and need transfusion - is that the bone marrie when it is stressed out it can out out a few myelocytes. But not too many - and it could be a sign of a deeper bone marrow sissue. Make sure you follow up with your pcp or specilaist ---
It depends on why you had to have a blood transfusion, what is the underlying problem. In general, mylocytes can be reactive, but they indicate a white blood cell disorder like myeloprolifrative disease.
