Agranulocytosis
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.
