A member asked:

I have neutropenia what should i be doing to take care of myself i have had 4 bone marrow biopsys. and several blood draws?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: There are many causes including congenital, infections (especially viral), drug side effect or allergy, autoimmune disease, and other benign or malignant blood disorders. Only some of these need any treatment. Bone marrow biopsies can help in diagnosis. G-csf (neupogen) can raise neutrophil count in some cases, and is useful if there have been infection problems, assuming no underlying cause.
