	The Leukogram - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		In equine viral arteritis, an initial leukopenia during the febrile episode is followed by lymphopenia and mild neutrophilia.
		Leukopenia occurs in equine herpesvirus infection, influenza, and sometimes in the early febrile phase of equine infectious anemia.
		Leukopenia occurs early in bacterial infections in ruminants and persists longer than in other species due to their low bone marrow neutrophil reserve (storage) pool and lymphopenia secondary to endogenous corticosteroid release.

		}} Leukopenia (or leukocytopenia, or leucopenia) is a decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood.
		The terms leukopenia and neutropenia may occasionally be used interchangeably, as the neutrophil count is the most important indicator of infection risk.
		Low white cell counts are associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, leukemia (as malignant cells overwhelm the bone marrow), myelofibrosis and aplastic anemia (destruction of the bone marrow by the immune system).

	Autoimmune Leukopenia - Neutropenia Support Association Inc.
		Gordon Starkebaum, M.D. David C. Dale, M.D. The terms "autoimmune leukopenia," "autoimmune granulocytopenia," and "autoimmune Neutropenia" are often used synonymously to describe conditions in which autoantibodies to mature neutrophils, or their precursors, lead to cell destruction and a reduced blood neutrophil count.
		Leukopenia is generally defined as a reduction in the total white blood cell count to less than 4,000 cells per deciliter; Neutropenia is defined as a neutrophil count of less than 1,800 cells per deciliter.
		Although the term "leukopenia" often implies "Neutropenia", there are many pathologic conditions in which not only neutrophils but also lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils are concomitantly or specifically reduced.

	Blood - The River of Life
		Leukopenia is the significant reduction in the number of blood neutrophils, although a reduced number of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, or basophils may also contribute to the decreased total cell count.
		Leukopenia has been scientifically proven to be related to heredity and some races have been known to be more susceptible to the disease than others.
		Secondary causes of Leukopenia could be stimulated by drugs generating an allergic reaction (immune, toxic or hypersensitivity) by the body.

		This commentary is based on a random selection of readings in which a decrease (leukopenia) or an increase (leukocytosis) in the number of white cells is, in a sense, concomitant with other disease processes.
		In [3279], on the other hand, a case of tuberculosis, there was also a leukopenia but not the associated overactivity of the Peyer's patches.
		Therapy for leukopenia or leukocytosis should be aimed at the particular condition which is dominant.

	Pathology
		Leukopenia refers to an abnormal decrease in the number of leukocytes.
		This may be secondary to a deficiency of any or all of the WBCs but it is most commonly caused by a depression of neutrophils (neutropenia).
		The causes of leukopenia may be marrow failure, peripheral destruction or shift into the storage or marginated compartments.\

		Leukopenia associated with silver sulfadiazine administration is primarily characterized by a decreased neutrophil count.
		The incidence of leukopenia in various reports averages about 20% although an incidence as high as 55% has been noted.

		Chronic leukopenia associated with feline immunodeficiency virus infection in a cat.
		Leukopenia attributable to lymphopenia and neutropenia was detected over a 28-week period in a 12-year-old domestic cat infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
		Thus, FIV infection may be an excellent animal model in which to study human immunodeficiency virus and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cats with chronic leukopenia.

		Platelet damage generally accompanies thrombocytopenia, releasing a substance into the bloodstream that dramatically increases platelet adhesiveness and causes further complications.
		In some cases of megaloblastic anemia (anemia conditions that have a common failure mechanism in which the body is unable to synthesize adequate amounts of normal DNA), there is concomitant leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, reflecting the abnormal development of white blood cells and platelets (McMullin et al.
		This is a condition found in patients who have chronic infections, noninfectious inflammatory diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), and neoplasms.

		Overall, increased mortality was associated with women (p = 0.009), nosocomial acquisition of the disease (p = 0.001), the presence of leukopenia (p = 0.00002) or thrombocytopenia (p = 0.025), shock (p = 4 X 10(-8)), and adult respiratory distress syndrome (p = 2 X 10(-7)).
		Alcoholism was the only associated condition correlating with the presence of leukopenia (p = 0.036), and alcoholism and leukopenia occurred in a group of younger men.
		We conclude that the association of alcoholism, leukopenia, and pneumococcal sepsis is a distinct clinical entity seen in younger patients and is associated with a very high mortality.

		Sometimes, the leukopenia (low white-blood-cell count) is temporary, and the white blood cells recover without further problem.
		The likelihood of a leukopenia turning into a leukemia depends upon what caused the leukopenia and if it is associated with a more complex medical disorder.
		In this condition, leukopenia is often present along with anemia (low red-blood-cell count) and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count).

	Leukopenia following IBD treatment linked to cancer risk
		Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients who develop a low white blood cell count, called leukopenia, after treatment with the immune system-suppressing drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) may have a slightly increased risk of cancer, US study results suggest.
		Cancer incidence was also studied in a comparison group of 54 IBD patients who were treated with 6-MP, but who did not develop leukopenia.
		Analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant increased risk of blood cancers in the patients with leukopenia compared with those who did not have a low white blood cell count.

		The objective of all monitoring systems is the early detection of moderate leukopenia in order to reduce or prevent the occurrence of severe leukopenia, agranulocytosis and death.
