bailie,
immature granulocytes are any white blood cells that get out of the marrow before maturing. on the differential, they would show up as myelocytea, metamyelocytes, and promyelocytes. blasts usually are counted separately from this grouping of immature granulocytes. igs tend to come out during periods of marrow stress, sometimes from viral infections, drugs, or bone marrow issues. generally they should not be in the peripheral blood, just like blasts. it is probably a good sign that your igs are tending down.
hang in there!
