(Such as early infectious mononucleosis) are often accompanied by transient neutropenia. Sepsis is a particularly serious cause of neutropenia. Children with common viral infectious diseases Neutropenia occurs within 1 to 2 days of onset and lasts 3 to 8 days. This is often related to the acute viremia phase and the redistribution of virus-induced neutrophils from the circulating pool to the marginal pool. Neutrophil retention can occur after tissue damage, and moderate to severe neutropenia can be associated with a variety of other infections (Table 135-2).
Chronic neutropenia is often accompanied by HIV infection due to impaired neutrophil production and accelerated destruction of neutrophils by antibodies (see section 145).
In some patients with chronic neutropenia, neutrophils are <200 / l, and there is no serious infection. This may be because the immune system is dormant but intact. Periodic neutropenia or severe congenital Patients with neutropenia often have oral ulcers, stomatitis or pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy during severe neutropenia.
Patients with neutropenia secondary to cancer or chemotherapy are likely to develop severe bacterial infections due to impaired overall immune system. In acute neutropenia, the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, Tissue blood supply and the nutritional status of patients can also affect the risk of infection. The temperature of patients with purulent infections is generally> 38.5 ° C. The most common purulent infections are skin cellulitis, liver abscess, bloated, pneumonia and sepsis Gastric inflammation, gingivitis, perianal inflammation, sinusitis, and otitis media are common.
