A member asked:
If your absolute neutrophils are low does that mean you can get sick easier? mine is low and i got a cold sore one week ago thats not going away.

Only if VERY low: Low neutrophil count will predispose to serious infections only if very low, under 1,000/mm3. If under 500, it's an emergency. Potent chemotherapy is by far the most common cause of such low counts. If in doubt, check with your doctor.
