4 Οκτ 2024 · Granulocytopenia, low levels of certain white blood cells, can compromise the body's ability to fight infections. The disorder may be a sign of an underlying health condition or a side effect of certain prescription drugs.
Leukopenia (from Greek λευκός (leukos) 'white' and πενία (penia) 'deficiency') is a decrease in the number of leukocytes (WBC). Found in the blood, they are the white blood cells, and are the body's primary defense against an infection. Thus the condition of leukopenia places individuals at increased risk of infection.
2 Οκτ 2023 · Leukopenia is a condition where you have too few white blood cells. Learn more about its symptoms, causes, complications, and treatment.
27 Οκτ 2022 · Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) happens when you have a lower-than-normal number of white blood cells. Specifically, you have fewer neutrophils than normal. Neutrophils are white blood cells that act as your immune system’s first line of defense.
18 Σεπ 2024 · Leukopenia is a low number of leukocytes (white blood cells), and neutropenia is a low number of neutrophils, which are the most common type of white blood cell. Sometimes neutropenia is referred to as leukopenia because it can cause the total number of white blood cells to be low.
Leukopenia is a reduction in the circulating white blood cell (WBC) count to < 4000/mcL (< 4 × 109/L). It is usually the consequence of a reduced number of circulating neutrophils, although a reduced number of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, or basophils may also contribute. Thus, immune function can be generally decreased.
Empirically, a blood granulocyte level <1500/mm3 is defined as granulocytopenia, and 500/mm 3 is usually considered severe granulocytopenia. It should be noted, however, that a baseline blood granulocyte level <1500/mm 3 is not applicable to all populations.
