What Causes Elevated Levels Of Immature Granulocytes In The Blood?

I am 51 years old. Weight is 240, Height is 5ft 4in. My blood continues to show high Immature Granulocytes in Blood Work. I had Pneumonia end of April. That is when we started to see it high. It currently stands at .050#, .06%. I had a Hysterectomy in 2010. We left the ovaries in. I have Fibromyalgia and I am treated for benign tremors.

Immature granulocytes are the body's way of reaction to an infection. You mention you had pneumonia when this showed up in your blood work. Depends on how long ago you were treated for pnuemonia for this to clear from your blood. Should be about 2 weeks after you finished antibiotics for pneumonia. You should have a repeat CBC with differential about 1 month after being treated for pneumonia and if the immature granulocytes still appear you should be evaluated for another infection or for blood disorder such as leukemia.
