Neutropenia is a condition in which the number of neutrophils in the blood decreases below normal. Neutrophils are white blood cells that fight infections. If the number of neutrophils decreases, this can lead to increased vulnerability to infections and more severe infections.
Hereditary permanent neutropenia is a form of neutropenic leukopenia that is inherited. This is a rare genetic disorder that can affect the functioning of the immune system. Hereditary permanent neutropenia can be expressed differently in different people, but is usually accompanied by a variety of health problems, including frequent infections, asthenia (weakness) and fatigue.
One of the main signs of hereditary permanent neutropenia is insufficient resistance to disease, especially respiratory infections, fungal infections and viruses. Infectious diseases such as otitis media, sinusitis and bronchitis are also observed. IN
Hereditary neutropenia is a condition in which there is a decrease in the level of neutrophil leukocytes in the blood. This pathology can occur in children and adults of all ages. This problem is one of the most common when performing a general blood test.
Neutropenia is a form of leukopenia when the level of neutrophils in the blood is reduced. There are several main reasons why neutropenia may occur:
Loss of function of the bone marrow, which is responsible for the production and growth of blood cells. A decrease in the number of erythroid cells, which are also produced by the bone marrow. Destruction of antigens in the body that could lead to the body fighting infection caused by bacteria or viruses. Various bone marrow diseases: infections, tumors, autoimmune diseases. Hereditary diseases: Autoimmune neutropenia is one of the typical bone marrow diseases. Autoimmune diseases in which the body's immune system attacks its own cells rather than external pathogens. As a result, the immune response incurs significant losses of its own cells. Medicine (some medicines can reduce neutrophyte levels). Thyroid problems: Low thyroid hormone levels can also lead to low neutrophil levels. Viral, bacterial, infectious: influenza, rubella, measles, HIV, hepatitis. Kidney and liver diseases. Inflammatory damage to bones or joints.
