The article is devoted to the problem of methodical approach to teaching the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia" at the Department of Pathophysiology. Module 2 "Pathophysiology of organs and systems" begins with the study of the submodule "Pathophysiology of the blood system" for all students studiing specialties 222 "Medicine", 228 "Pediatrics" and 221 "Dentistry". One of the most difficult topics for students to understand is the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia". Pathophysiology is a science that studies the vital activity of a sick organism. Pathophysiology occupies one of the leading places in the system of scientific and theoretical training of a doctor. The doctor should interpret the basic concepts of general nosology, interpret the causes, mechanisms of development and manifestations of typical pathological processes and the most common diseases, analyze, draw conclusions regarding the causes and mechanisms of functional, metabolic, structural disorders of organs and body systems in diseases. The study of the mechanisms of leukocytosis is 50% of the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia". The other 50 percent of the time is devoted to studying the mechanisms of leukopenia. When considering the mechanisms of neutropenia, special attention should be paid to the pathogenesis of hereditary neutropenia. Because this issue is especially relevant for students majoring in 228 "Pediatrics" and specialty 221 "Dentistry" in the context of the treatment of dental diseases in childhood. The purpose of this work is to analyze the difficulties encountered by students in studying the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia" and the development of methodological approaches to their elimination.
