I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Segs is another terminology for Neutrophils. Neutrophils are responsible for protection of the body and plays role in immunity. They kill the bacteria causing infection. Whenever there is on going infection in the body then their levels rise. As soon as the infection subsides, their level gets back to normal.
