What is cyclical neutropenia?
Cycic neutropenia is a rare form of neutropenia or blood, which usually occurs at the intervals of two weeks to months. Each period of incidence takes three to six days. Cyclic neutropenia is also known as cyclical neutropenia or cyclical hematopoiesis.
In general, neutropenia is the health condition that occurs when the number of neutrophils is unusually low. Neutrophils are the most important group of white blood cells or leukocytes because they are cells of the immune system that fights infectious diseases. Neutrophils, which make up of up to 75 percent of leukocytes, exercise this obligation by destruction of bacteria in the blood. Thus, a reduced number of neutrophils leads to a lack of primary defense of the immune system and causes a person to be more susceptible to bacterial infections and diseases in general. This applies to mutatine neutrophilic elastasis, usually shortened as ELA2 and also known as leukocyte elastasis. This is an enzyme that contributes to the destruction of bacteria. In general, however, neutropenia has several possible crossIn. These include damaged or reduced bones narrow due to other conditions such as cancer or lack of production, called aplastic anemia; Destruction of neutrophils by certain medicines or autoimmune disorders; and viral infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
People with cyclic neutropenia usually discover it by accident during a routine medical control. Others discover this after they have experienced serious infection with symptoms such as diarrhea, mouth ulcers, sore throat or burning feelings during urination. Cyclic neutropenia is considered a rare form of disorder and is usually benign. Some people, However, have lost their lives as a result of infection because they are more vulnerable.
Because cyclic neutropenia is usually inherited, it can be detected in more members of the same family. Doctors determine the scope of the condition by distributing into three categoriesOn the basis of the absolute number of neutrophils (ANC). They consist of mild neutropenia, which indicates a minimum risk of bacterial infection; Mild neutropenia that pose a slight risk; and severe neutropenia that pose a serious risk. Although there is no ideal treatment for cyclic neutropenia, doctors traditionally rely on hormones stimulating colony of granulocytes (G-CSF or GCSF), such as Filgrastim to fight it.
