Peer comment(s):

agree DrMike : all neutrophils are "segmented" (meaning they have multi-lobular nuclei), so I would just go with neutrophils.

Thanks, but just "neutrophils" isn't enough: not all the neutrophils are segmented. Immature neutrophils (e.g. bands) aren't.

Peer comment(s):

agree Martinique : Или segmented neutrophils, что в данном случае одно и то же // Наташ, именно segmentED (а не segmental), сразу не заметила

Ага, точно - спасибо, Лена. Сама ведь раньше уже писала segmented
neutral DrMike : this terminology is not used in medical practice. "Neutrophil" would suffice...see my comment on Maksym's post for details.

I am afraid it is not so. Neutrophils are commonly identified as "bands" (immature, with a band-shaped nucleus) and "segs" (mature, with a nucleus segmented into distinct lobes).

neutrophil clarification

Let me clarify my previous remarks. The "obshii analiz krovi" (or CBC - complete blood count) includes a part called the differential white blood count. This differential white blood count consists of the measuring the levels of the following leukocytes:

-Neutrophils
-Eosinophils
-Basophils
-Monocytes
-Lymphocytes

In this context, you don't need to differentiate between segmented and banded neutrophils. A complete blood count is not concerned with the difference between the two.

So while "segmented neutrophil" may suffice, I offer it as my opinion that simply "neutrophil" would do in this case. This way it would be consistent with the terminology currently used in the medical arena.

Note from asker:
Thanks a lot for your explanation. It was worth waiting for it.
