juliegee Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi All-I just came back from a physical & my doc revealed that I had leukopenia, low white blood cell count, and neutropenia, low number of circulating neutrophils. I previously had learned that I had low immunoglobulins- specifically IgG. I'm trying to understand this.... Does anyone else have a similar blood work pattern? I'm supposed to go back in one month to have the tests re-done.Thanks for any input-Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Julie,Lyme's disease can tank your white count. Could that be your cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it would still effect your immune system or not. Ask your infectious disease doc. Just be careful! Don't be around sick people!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the idea, Jennifer- but I don't have those symptoms. This is mysterious & I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't understand it.Apparently, I'm susceptible to everything & when I get it; it's supposed to be dire as I have no white cells to fight it. The only thing I have is a chronic low grade sinus infection that I keep controlled with daily use of the Neti with antibiotic saline solution. I thought other "potsies" may be dealing with this Guess I'm just the lucky one...Thanks for your input. i really appreciate it.Julei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattgreen Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Just bringing this back up because I had blood results return 'mild neutropenia' today for the nth time. First noticed probably a year or so ago.Does anyone have any clue what this may be indicative of? I haven't had an infection in years and wounds heal quickly. Remaining blood results (FBC) are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
