- Neutropenia is a decrease in circulating (ie, nonmarginal) neutrophils in the blood. (medscape.com)
- Neutrophils play a vital role in protecting against infection, so the duration and severity of neutropenia directly correlate with the total incidence of all infections, including those that are life threatening. (medscape.com)
- Severe chronic neutropenia (SCN) is a rare blood disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of certain white blood cells (neutrophils) in the bloodstream (neutropenia) not explained by medication use, infections or another underlying health condition like blood cancers or systemic autoimmune diseases associated with neutropenia.
