There are many reasons for low neutrophils in children, such as tuberculosis infection, viral infection, bacterial infection, physical and chemical factors.
1. Tuberculosis infection: pediatric infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis can lead to an increase in the proportion of mononuclear macrophages and lymphocytes, thus indirectly leading to the phenomenon of low neutrophils in children.
2. Viral infections: most of the children infected with viruses will show an increase in lymphocytes, thus causing low neutrophils.
3. Bacterial infections: severe bacterial infections can also lead to a decrease in neutrophils instead of an increase, resulting in low neutrophils.
4. Physical and chemical factors: long-term exposure of children to chemical agents, or exposure to ionizing radiation and other substances, can also lead to low neutrophils.
There are many causes of low neutrophil, after the phenomenon, should go to the hospital in time to improve the blood routine examination, if necessary, with other related examination, to clarify the cause of the disease, after diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to take standardized treatment.
