The Shift
The first 3 numbers from the left (WBC total, bands, and neutrophils) are important because the total number of white blood cells increases when you have an acute infection, and the numbers of bands and neutrophils also increase, causing a shift in percentages because, as the percentage of bands and neutrophils increase, the percentages of the other cells must decrease. This then constitutes the "shift to the left."
