What are the symptoms of lymphocytopenia?

What is lymphocytopenia?
The term "lymphocyte" can be translated to "white blood cell"--lymphocytes are just one of a few different types of white blood cells in the body. The normal lymphocyte count for an adult is between 1000 and 4800 cells per microliter; lymphocytopenia is a lymphocyte count lower than the norm. Lymphocytes are important to the human immune system, so a low lymphocyte count may mean you're more vulnerable to infection or other problems.
You have been told your lymphocytes are low after a blood test?
Low number than normal (reduced number) of Lymphocytes in the blood stream is called Lymphocytopenia. Here is an elaborated answer. If you new more detail, please message me. Or simply send your comments/suggestions. Lymphocytopenia Definition Lymphocytopenia is a condition marked by an abnormally low level of lymphocytes in the blood. Lymphocytes are a specific type of white blood cell with important functions in the immune system. Description Lymphocytes normally account for 15-40% of all white cells in the bloodstream. They help to protect the body from infections caused by viruses or fungi. They also coordinate the activities of other cells in the immune system. In addition, lymphocytes fight cancer and develop into antibody-producing cells that neutralize the effect of foreign substances in the blood. Lymphocytopenia is the result of abnormalities in the way lymphocytes are produced, make their way through the bloodstream, or are lost or destroyed. These conditions can result from congenital or drug-induced decreases in the body's ability to recognize and attack invaders. Causes and symptoms Lymphocytopenia has a wide range of possible causes: AIDS and other viral, bacterial, and fungal infections Chronic failure of the right ventricle of the heart. This chamber of the heart pumps blood to the lungs. Hodgkin's disease and cancers of the lymphatic system A leak or rupture in the thoracic duct. The thoracic duct removes lymphatic fluid from the legs and abdomen. Leukemia Side effects of prescription medications Malnutrition. Diets that are low in protein and overall calorie intake may cause lymphocytopenia. Radiation therapy High stress levels Trauma. The symptoms of lymphocytopenia vary. Lymphocytes constitute only a fraction of the body's white blood cells, and a decline in their number may not produce any symptoms. A patient who has lymphocytopenia may have symptoms of the condition responsible for the depressed level of lymphocytes. Diagnosis Lymphocytopenia is most often detected when blood tests are performed to diagnose other diseases. Treatment Treatment for lymphocytopenia is designed to identify and correct the underlying cause of the condition. Drug-depressed lymphocyte levels usually return to normal a few days after the patient stops taking the medication.
What causes neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia?
Neutrophilia (elevated neutrophil count) can be caused by bacterial infections, inflammation, stress, or certain medications. Lymphocytopenia (low lymphocyte count) can result from viral infections, autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or prolonged stress. Both conditions may also occur in response to certain medical conditions or diseases.
