Most infections that occur as a result of neutropenia are due to bacteria that are normally present on the skin or in the gastrointestinal or urinary tract. Treatment depends upon the cause and severity of he condition as well as the underlying disease state responsible for the neutropenia.
A low white blood cell count or âneutropeniaâ is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of neutrophils in the circulating blood. Neutrophils are a specific kind of white blood cell that help prevent and fight infections. The most common reason that cancer patients experience neutropenia is as a side effect of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia increases a patientâs risk of infection and disrupts cancer treatment. Fortunately, neutropenia can be prevented through the use of white blood cell growth factors.
