A member asked:

My niece(3-year-old) was diagnosed a serious lack of neutrophils(no leukemia). can any expert tell me exact cause of this disease & the best treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neutropenia: Although this can be caused by benign viral conditions, it should be thoroughly evaluated by a pediatric hematologist , for more serious conditions and requires careful, frequent blood testing.
