Agranulocytosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Its study mainly corresponds to the hematologist, with support from the internist when there are other associated conditions. Agranulocytosis is a significant decrease in granulocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps defend the body against infections.
Why it matters: as these defenses drop, the body becomes more exposed to infections, so fever or repeated infections deserve attention.
Frequent symptoms: fever, sore throat, mouth sores, general malaise, and a greater tendency to infections.
Common causes: it may be associated with reactions to certain medications, infections, or bone marrow diseases. Detecting it early through professional assessment allows treating the cause and protecting the body's defenses.
