a Numbers of leukocytes are in thousands per cubic millimeter, ranges are estimates of 95% confidence limits, and percentages refer to differential counts.
Neutrophils include band cells at all ages and a small number of metamyelocytes and myelocytes in the first few days of life.
b Normal ranges vary slightly depending on automated analyzer used. The total leukocyte count is used to convert percentage values to absolute counts. Some
automated hematology analyzers provide a full or limited differential.

Absolute range 3–100/mm 3
Percentage range 0.10–1.47%
