Increased prevalence of myelocytes and metamyelocytes in the blood of a patient with sepsis who died 2 days after blood sampling. Representative image (×100 magnification) of a whole blood smear from a patient with sepsis who died within 24 h after sampling. White blood cells were stained with Wright-Giemsa stain, allowing morphological identification of immature neutrophils. Increased numbers of myelocytes and metamyelocytes were prevalent in the blood.
