Segs are shorthand: for segmented neutrophil (also called polymorphoneutrophils, polys) white blood cells, commonly the most abundant of the 5 major subgroups of WBCs, as stained by H&E stains & visually distinguishable under a microscope. Segs (mature neutrophils) are typically ~45-70% in a peripheral blood sample. Higher % is c/w acute infection & more polys being pushed out of bone marrow in response. Answer, yes.
