The Dangers of Neutropenia
Description
Few people have heard of neutropenia unless they have it or have worked in a medical office or hospital. It sounds like a rare and probably deadly condition. But, as viewers learn in this program, neutropenia is a blood disorder that arises from an unusually low number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. And it can often occur after cancer treatments. Experts discuss advancements made during the past ten to twenty years and the breakthroughs that are allowing for better treatment of this condition. There are also interviews with neutropenia patients who have been treated and are working to resume normal lives.
