Yes: Seems that you have neutropenia and it does expose you to a higher risk for infections. Also you should get it worked up soon as to the cause or diagnoses for same. You should see a hematologist in this case and your workup may include a bone marrow testing. What did your brother have? Sorry to hear about your loss.

Neutropenia is....: Defined numerically as an absolute neutrophil count (anc) less than 1500. From there it is subdivided into mild (1000-1500), moderate (500-1000) and severe (<500). Folks with severe neutropenia are at increased risk for bacterial infections. Mild to moderate, less so. The reason for neutropenia needs to be determined. Treatments range from observation to stem cell transplant, depending on cause.
