When a doctor or nurse discusses your blood test results, you may hear them refer to the "absolute neutrophil count" (ANC) or the number of neutrophils in your blood. A "low white blood count" is another common term used to describe a low neutrophil level in the blood. Fortunately, having a low level of neutrophils can be corrected.
Recurrent infections typically occur with neutropenia, but neutropenia itself is not necessarily a disease.
