Severe Chronic Neutropenia

Neutropenia is a disease of the hematopoietic system, which is characterized by a decrease in the number of neutrophils (white blood cells). As a result, the child’s body loses the ability to resist fungal and bacterial infections. The risk of oncology also increases, and ordinary inflammation can give undesirable complications to internal organs.

For more than 10 years, the children’s doctor of the leading Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic has been specializing in the treatment of various pathologies of the hematopoietic system in children. With the help of the latest equipment, it is possible to determine with 100-th accuracy the presence of the disease. We use a comprehensive approach in therapy, which makes it possible to get rid of the cause of the disease and choose the right treatment. Every year, our staff receives special training and knows how to find an approach to the child.

We provide parents and children with comfortable rooms. Nurses surround the 24-hour care of small patients. Our employees help contact charitable foundations to raise funds. It is worth noting that the clinic set prices for the provision of services, as in public hospitals. Thus, you get a wide range of services at an acceptable price.

Experts cannot come to a consensus on the cause of the disease. However, they highlight the following risk factors:

• Congenital anomaly;
• Genetic predisposition;
• Administration of drugs;
• Exposure to radiation exposure;

Diagnosis and treatment of the disease

To detect the disease, the doctor will conduct the following diagnostics:

• Inspection;

• Bone marrow puncture;
• Ultrasound;
• Cytological and histological examination of biomaterial;
• MRI or CT scan.

The most effective is considered drug therapy and the use of vitamin complexes. After a certain period, the disease disappears. In severe cases, a bone marrow transplant is required.
