There are 40 to 60 trillion cells in the human body and more than 200 different types of cells, and the proportion of white blood cells in such a large number of cells can be said to be minimal, but this does not affect their importance. When the white blood cells are reduced, the body will have less of this barrier, and many harmful germs that were originally deterred by the power of white blood cells will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, thus causing different diseases and bringing different degrees of harm to the body. Therefore, when the white blood cells are below the normal level for a long time, you need to pay attention!
The dangers of leukopenia White blood cells are made up of granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, etc. The most common and major decrease in leukocytes generally referred to is the decrease in granulocytes. If the decrease is too pronounced, bacteria are likely to spread rapidly in a state of complete or basic loss of resistance of the organism, and even enter the bloodstream to cause sepsis. Therefore, it is important to seek medical examination when leukopenia is present to ensure that no harm will be done to the body.
Some patients with chronic neutropenia have neutrophils <200/μl and no serious infections. This may be due to a dormant but still intact immune system. Patients with cyclic neutropenia or severe congenital neutropenia often have mouth ulcers, stomatitis or pharyngitis and enlarged lymph nodes during severe chronic neutropenia. Patients with neutropenia with hematopoietic abnormalities secondary to cancer or chemotherapy are likely to develop severe bacterial infections due to the patient’s compromised overall immune system. In acute neutropenia, the integrity of the skin, mucous membranes, tissue blood supply, and the nutritional status of the patient also affect the risk rate of infection. Patients with septic infections usually have a temperature >38.5°C. The most common septic infections are cutaneous cellulitis, liver abscesses, boils, pneumonia, and sepsis. Common ones are gastritis, gingivitis, perianal inflammation, sinusitis and otitis media.
How to prevent low white blood cell 1, pay attention to diet: avoid raw, cold and unclean diet to avoid digestive system infection.
2.Avoid going to public places as much as possible to prevent respiratory infections.
3.Avoid taking drugs that cause bone marrow damage or leukocytopenia.
Pay attention to the clinical use of drugs: carefully use drugs that can cause leukopenia, such as certain antibiotics, anti-tumor drugs and antipyretic and analgesic drugs, and regularly check the leukocytes, strictly control the amount and duration of medication, and stop the medication as soon as leukopenia is detected.
4. Avoid contact with chemicals and radioactive substances that cause bone marrow damage.
(1) exposure to radiation staff, pay attention to safety protection, regular blood checks, such as the discovery of leukocyte reduction, immediately transferred from the post chemistry.
(2) For staff exposed to benzene and xylene toxic chemicals, check the blood picture regularly.
(5) For patients suffering from infectious diseases, blood diseases, immune diseases, should actively treat the original disease.
6.For those with nutritional disorders, there should be targeted inspection and correction.
7.Strengthen physical exercise, improve physical fitness, enhance the body’s ability to resist disease, without relying too much on drug therapy.
