Neutropenia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low level of neutrophil granulocytes in the blood. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that helps to fight infections and are important for healthy immune system functioning. Neutropenia can lead to an increased risk of contracting certain types of infections and can have serious implications on a person's health. Neutropenia is diagnosed through a blood test and can be treated with medications or certain lifestyle changes. It is important that people with this condition stay up-to-date on their recommended blood tests and follow their doctor's instructions carefully. Treatment of neutropenia can help to reduce the risk of infection and improve overall health and well-being.
