    Q What is neutropenia? How is it treated? A neutropenia refers to an abnormallylow number of neutrophils — a type of white blood cell — in the blood.  
    http://www.walgreens.com/library/qod/qoda012203.jhtml
    
    Extractions: Neutropenia isn't one specific disease but can be a manifestation of many diseases that lower the neutrophil count. Neutropenia may be found incidentally by a blood test done for some other reason. Mild neutropenia often causes no symptoms. Severe neutropenia raises the risk of a severe infection of the lungs, kidneys, blood or skin.

    http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/topic100587216
    
    Extractions: Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils in the blood. Neutrophils are white blood cells (WBCs) produced in the bone marrow that ingest bacteria. Neutropenia is sometimes called agranulocytosis or granulocytopenia because neutrophils make up about 60% of WBCs and have granules inside their cell walls. Neutropenia is a serious disorder because it makes the body vulnerable to bacterial and fungal infections. Description The normal level of neutrophils in human blood varies slightly by age and race. Infants have lower counts than older children and adults, and African Americans have lower counts than Caucasians or Asians. The average adult level is 1500 cells/mm of blood. Neutrophil counts (in cells/mm ) are interpreted as follows: greater than 1000. Normal protection against infection. 500-1000. Some increased risk of infection.

    Extractions: Professor B. Jenson Department of Internal Medicine, VA Hospital, Sanfransisco, USA Abstract: Today, with increasing number of patient who receive chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants, complex of fever and neutropenia are more frequently seen. In addition to infectious causes, other etiologies such as pyrogenic medications, allergic reactions, administration of blood products and malignancy process (per se) should also be noted. Approach to these patients should be consisted of a complete history taking, physical examination and using paraclinical data such as laboratory and radiologic studies. Empirical antibiotic therapy is used to protect against the early morbidity and mortality of untreated bacterial infections. This article reviews the different causes of the fever in neutropenic patients, how to approach to the problem and how to treat it. Contents: Introduction

    Severe neutropenia during Pentamidine Treatment of Pneumocystis carinii Pneumoniain Patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome New York City.  
    http://www.cdc.gov/epo/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000282.htm
    
    Extractions: February 17, 1984 / 33(6);65-7 During November 1983, three patients at one New York City hospital who had the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) developed severe neutropenia while being treated with pentamidine isethionate. Since August 1981, 23 other patients with AIDS and PCP had been treated with pentamidine at this institution. None developed neutropenia that could not be explained by the simultaneous administration of another drug. Editorial Note: For each patient, this was the first admission for PCP, and each showed clinical recovery. In two, recovery occurred while on pentamidine therapy. Folinic acid, topical antifungal agents, benzodiazepines, and in one patient, meperidine and diphenhydramine, were administered during the period in which the pentamidine-associated neutropenia developed. Furthermore, despite intensive screening, only a few other infectious agents (G. lamblia, V. parahemolyticus, M. avium-intracellulare, and superficial Candida) complicated these cases. In two of these, neutropenia developed or worsened during the administration of other anti-infective drugs. Thus, despite the close temporal relationship between neutropenia and the administration of pentamidine and the gradual improvement of the neutropenia after withdrawal of the drug, it should not be presumed that these reactions were specifically related to pentamidine.

    Extractions: Rationale: Evidence suggests that maintaining dose intensity (DI) is important in the adjuvant chemotherapy of primary breast cancer. The principal reason for dose modification is neutropenia, although data indicating the number of patients affected by neutropenia in clinical practice and the impact of neutropenia on overall DI received are limited. Objectives: 1) Record the incidence of neutropenic events (hospitalisation due to febrile neutropenia, dose delay of 1 week due to neutropenia, or dose reduction of 15% due to neutropenia); 2) evaluate the impact of neutropenic events on overall DI received; 3) review the use of G-CSF and its impact on DI in patients with primary breast cancer. Audit methodology. Prospective or retrospective data were collected from 15 centres.

    Extractions: Abstract TOP Interferon therapy of hepatitis C causes a decrease in neutrophil counts, and neutropenia is a common reason for dose adjustment or early discontinuation. However, it is unclear whether neutropenia caused by interferon is associated with an increased rate of infection. In this study, we assessed factors associated and clinical consequences of neutropenia before and during interferon therapy of chronic hepatitis C. A total of 119 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with the combination of interferon alfa and ribavirin were analyzed. In these studies, neutropenia was not used as an exclusion or dose modification criterion. In multivariate analysis, only black race was associated with baseline neutropenia. During treatment, neutrophil counts decreased by an average of 34%. Among 3 blacks with baseline neutropenia without cirrhosis or splenomegaly , there was little or no decrease in neutrophil counts (despite typical decreases in platelet and lymphocyte counts). Documented or suspected bacterial infections developed in 22 patients (18%), but in no patient with neutropenia.

    Extractions: A guide to neutropenia: diagnosing and treating a perplexing problem There are many reasons for neutropenia, including drug reactions, infections and immune system disorders. March 2002 If the hemoglobin and the platelet count are also low, however, the children should be referred to a hematologist for a bone marrow aspirate for diagnosis and treatment. Persistent neutropenia A child with persistent neutropenia demands a detailed evaluation, he said. The most common disorders are congenital, cyclic and autoimmune neutropenias. The problems faced by children with any chronic neutropenic disorder include intermittent low-grade fever, malaise, mouth sores or gingivitis, lymphadenopathy, recurrent upper respiratory infections, pneumonia and skin rashes like impetigo, recurrent boils and cellulitis.
