Abnormally low white blood cell count; can be associated with severe infection Rarely, a side effect of carbamazepine
decreased number of neutrophillic leukocytes in the blood
A below-normal number of neutrophils
Low white blood cell count which creates high risk for infection
leukopenia in which the decrease is primarily in number of neutrophils (the chief phagocytic leukocyte)
An abnormal decrease in the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell
A shortage of neutrophils in the blood
A reduced level of neutrophils Cytotoxic chemotherapy has a tendency to induce neutropenia In contrast, lymphocytes which are more important in viral infections, tend not to be affected by cytotoxic treatment Neutropenia can be prevented or reduced using a synthetic hormone called G-CSF (e g Neupogen®)

a deficiency of neutrophils
an abnormally low number or a decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils
{i} abnormal decrease in the number of white blood cells (esp. neutrophils) in the bloodstream (Medicine)
Low neutrophil (poly) count
A decrease below normal in the concentration of neutrophils, a type of white cell
A decreased number of white cells in the blood, which greatly increases the risk of infection It usually occurs as a result of chemotherapy
An abnormal decrease in the number of neutrophils (the most common type of white blood cells) in the blood The decrease may be relative or absolute Neutropenia is associated with acute leukemia, infection, rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions
low number of neutrophils or wbc's; may increase risk of infection, depending on how low the count is and for how long
Pathological reduction in the numbers of the larger and physiologically most numerous class of infection-fighting white blood cells, usually more numerous in generalised bacterial infections
