Neutropenia
The hematologist is the doctor specialized in blood cells and usually takes charge of the study of neutropenia. This condition consists of a decrease in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps the body defend itself against infections.
Possible manifestations: In many cases it is detected through blood tests. When levels are very low, susceptibility to infections may increase, with fever or general malaise.
When should you see a doctor? With frequent infections, fever without an apparent cause, or abnormal lab results, it is advisable to seek guidance. In children, the pediatric hematologist takes part together with the pediatrician. The most sensible course is for a professional to interpret the tests and review each case individually.
