Recently blood: what are band/banded white blood cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bands: White blood cells that are referred to as 'bands' are usually provoked by infection, and the bands are actually premature white cells that are released into the blood stream from the bone marrow as an attempt to fight off infection.
