	'''Plasmacytosis''' is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of [[plasma cells]] in the blood. Plasma cells are a type of [[white blood cell]] that produce [[antibodies]] to fight off infections. Plasmacytosis can occur in various diseases, including [[multiple myeloma]], [[Waldenström's macroglobulinemia]], and certain types of [[autoimmune diseases]].

	Plasmacytosis can be caused by a variety of conditions. The most common cause is multiple myeloma, a type of [[cancer]] that begins in the plasma cells. Other causes can include autoimmune diseases, such as [[rheumatoid arthritis]] and [[systemic lupus erythematosus]], and infections, such as [[HIV]] and [[hepatitis C]].
