Neutropenia

Aka: Neutropenia, Granulocytopenia, Agranulocytosis, Schultz's Disease, Pseudoneutropenia
  1. See Also
    1. Leukocytosis
    2. Neutrophil
    3. Neutropenic Fever
  2. Definition: Neutropenia (Neutrophil Count < 1500/mm3)
    1. Agranulocytosis (severe Neutropenia)
      1. Complete absence of Neutrophils
    2. Neutropenia: Based on Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)
      1. Mild Neutropenia: ANC 1000 to 1500 Neutrophils/mm3
      2. Moderate Neutropenia: ANC 500 to 1000 Neutrophils/mm3
      3. Severe Neutropenia: ANC <500 Neutrophils/mm3
  3. Precautions
    1. See Neutropenic Fever
    2. Avoid rectal exam in Neutropenia (theoretic risk of bacteremia)
  4. Causes
    1. See Neutropenia Causes
  5. Differential Diagnosis: Pseudoneutropenia (automated)
    1. Blood examined after long delay after phlebotomy
    2. Margination (see Neutropenia Causes)
    3. Neutrophil clumping
      1. Paraproteinemia
      2. Anticoagulant use
  6. Signs: Recurrent infection
    1. General
      1. Typical inflammation signs less commonly seen
      2. Swelling and heat less often seen with Neutropenia
    2. Organisms
      1. Staphylococcus aureus (skin)
      2. Gram Negative (Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary)
    3. Early severe Neutropenia
      1. Oropharyngeal infections
      2. Skin Infections or delayed Wound Healing
    4. Persistent severe Neutropenia
      1. Pulmonary infection
      2. Gastrointestinal infection
      3. Sepsis
  7. Labs
    1. Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count
    2. Peripheral Blood Smear
  8. Evaluation: Bone Marrow Biopsy
    1. Indications
      1. Indicated in most Neutropenia cases
      2. Not required in mild Drug-Induced Neutropenia
    2. Increased Granulocytes in Bone Marrow
      1. Suggests increased destruction (e.g. immune)
    3. Decreased Granulocytes in Bone Marrow
      1. Increased cells seen in marrow
        1. Suggests marrow infiltration (e.g. Leukemia)
      2. Decreased cells seen in marrow
        1. Suggests marrow injury (e.g. medications)
  9. Complications
    1. Severe Neutropenia predisposes to serious infection

Agranulocytosis (C0001824)

Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A condition in which there is a lower-than-normal number of granulocytes (a type of white blood cell).
Definition (NCI) A decrease in the number of mature granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) in the peripheral blood.
Definition (CSP) decrease in the number of granulocytes (basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils).
Definition (MSH) A decrease in the number of GRANULOCYTES; (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS).
