A couple of days ago I looked at a blood film on a patient with a neutrophil count of 1.3 and made the standard “neutropenia – suggest keep an eye on this” comment. Today we had another sample on the same patient with a neutrophil count of 0.3… but a little more information on the patient this time. The patient was on teicoplanin, which is known to cause neutropenia. There’s an article on it that you can read by clicking here.
I learned something today…
