A member asked:
When you are diagnosed with cronic neutropenia, does that mean it's a type of leukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: Neutropenia means low numbers of white blood cells. One of the many causes of neutropenia is bone marrow failure due to leukemia or a condition called myelodysplastic syndrome(mds). A good hematologist can check you and guide you to find the cause and a solution with proper treatment.
