Explanation

Bandemia is a medical term that refers to an unusually high number of immature white blood cells in a person's bloodstream. These immature cells, known as "band cells," are usually found in the bone marrow, but can enter the bloodstream when the body is fighting off an infection. A high number of band cells can also indicate other health conditions, such as inflammation or stress. Therefore, bandemia is often a sign that the body is dealing with some sort of health issue.
