At times, you may be at risk for infection from the side effects of treatment. If signs of infection are ignored, you can become very ill. The body has many ways to protect you from infection. Your skin, acid in the stomach, and coughing are some ways that the body protects itself. As part of your immune system, your body makes white blood cells that destroy germs and bacteria after they enter the body. One special type of white blood cell that kills germs and bacteria is called a neutrophil . Neutrophils are made in the bone marrow, the spongy center of bones. Chemotherapy and, sometimes, radiation treatment for brain tumor can cause the bone marrow to temporarily make fewer neutrophils than normal. This condition is called

Chemotherapy can affect the bone marrow , where all blood cells are produced. If your white blood cell count becomes significantly low, a serious condition called neutropenia (new-tro-pee-nee-uh) occurs. Neutropenia is the medical word for a low neutrophil (white blood cell) count. Unlike other physical side effects of chemotherapy, neutropenia often has silent symptoms. Unless someone is monitoring your blood counts you will not know if you have developed neutropenia until you have an infection. Of the more common side effects of chemotherapy, neutropenia is the most serious because: If left untreated it may lead to life-threatening infection It may affect your ability to receive chemotherapy as planned (studies have shown that delays and dose reductions of chemotherapy can reduce the chances of long term survival Bonadonna G, Valagussa P, Moliterni A, Zambetti M, Brambilla C.

Neutrophils are instrumental in fighting off infection by surrounding and destroying bacteria that enter the body. Symptoms associated with cyclic neutropenia may include fever, a general feeling of ill health (malaise), and/or sores (ulcers) of the mucous membranes of the mouth. In most cases, individuals with low levels of neutrophils (neutropenia) are abnormally susceptible to recurrent infections.

SCN is a very rare disease with around 650 people worldwide known to have the condition. In general it affects between one or two people per million in the population and seems to be more common in Caucasian people. SCN affects the white cells in the blood, but does not affect other blood cells. There are two main types of white cells: neutrophils which fight bacterial infection and lymphocytes which fight viral infection. Children with SCN have very few neutrophils in their blood and so are at an increased risk of bacterial infection. There are four major types of SCN: congenital, cyclical, idiopathic and autoimmune.

Neutropenia Full Glossary Related Terms ANC chemotherapy Definition: A low number of neutrophils (type of white blood cell) in the blood. This can happen after a chemotherapy treatment, when the cells in the bone marrow can be damaged by the drug(s). Since these cells are very important in protecting the body from infection, a person receiving chemotherapy must be alert to the possible signs of low white count, as well as taking protective measures against infection. The degree of neutropenia is reflect in the absolute neutrophil count (ANC). For more information as to the specifics of that count, see that glossary definition.

Other Resources White Blood Cell Disorders Neutropenia Signs and Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Signs and Symptoms Neutropenia causes low levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that destroys bacteria in the blood and helps protect your child from infections. Neutropenia can be a very serious condition because without enough neutrophils, your child is susceptible to bacterial infections that can become life threatening. Among children, this condition has a number of causes, including: Inadequate bone marrow production due to other blood disorders such as aplastic anemia or cancer such as leukemia. Response to radiation therapy or chemotherapy, which destroys white cells. When this occurs, it could delay radiation or chemotherapy. Inadequate white cells because of an autoimmune disease. Bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis, or viral infections, such as mononucleosis. Other rare hereditary diseases that cause decreases in white blood cells such as Fanconi anemia, which leads to bone marrow failure, or Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, which involves the pancreas, bone marrow and skeleton. There are several forms of neutropenia: Congenital Neutropenia This is a severe, inherited form of the disease and is most common among babies and very young children, rather than adults. Symptoms include frequent fevers, mouth sores, ear infections, pneumonia or rectal sores. If untreated, children may lose their teeth or develop severe gum infections. The most severe form of chronic congenital neutropenia is called Kostmann's syndrome.

Home l Services l Support Search ... E-Mail Neutropenia There are various types of cells in the blood. The lowering of the white blood cells that fight infections is known as Neutropenia. It is the most important complication of chemotherapy. It is almost always due to impairment of bone marrow to produce cells and normally occurs a few days to a few weeks after chemotherapy. It is most severe in patients who receive aggressive treatments. Signs and symptoms: The signs and symptoms of Neutropenia depend on its severity. However, patients with even mild forms can develop major problems. Even in the most severe cases, it may have no signs at all, or it may cause fever and infection. A fever in patients who have received chemotherapy must be taken seriously, requiring a complete evaluation. Taking Tylenol or aspirin will only mask the infection and should be avoided, unless prescribed by the medical oncologist after a proper evaluation.
