Abstract

[Extract] Neutropaenia is defined as a decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils. The neutrophil count varies with age, sex and racial grouping. The severity of neutropaenia is usually graded as follows:

-mild: neutrophil count 1.0-1.5 x 10^9/L

-moderate: neutrophil count 0.5-1.0 x 10^9/L

-severe: neutrophil count <0.5 x 10^9/L.
