agranulosyttoosi
Agranulocytosis is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by a drastic reduction in the number of granulocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infection. Granulocytes, including neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, play a crucial role in the immune system by engulfing and destroying bacteria and fungi. When their numbers fall below a critical level, typically fewer than 500 cells per microliter of blood, the body's ability to defend itself against pathogens is severely compromised, leaving the individual highly susceptible to severe infections.
The causes of agranulocytosis are varied. It can be drug-induced, with certain medications, particularly those used
Symptoms of agranulocytosis often mimic those of severe infection, as the body struggles to fight off opportunistic
