Re: bleeding, high neutrophils, and low lympocytes

Good grief, mJ! I don't have an answer but I hope someone here does.

More later,

[ ] bleeding, high neutrophils, and low lympocytes

Hi:

I did have a bleed last night, and the hematologist has me on Amicar

for ten more days. I noted on the blood tests that neutrophils were

quite high and lymmphocytes quite low. Would anyone know if this is

related to gum infection and bleeding from the periodontal work.

I finally feel optimistic that I'll get better but I feel quite beat up

with all of this! Thanks MJ

Hi MJ,

Neutrophils are infection fighters so if you have (or had) a gum

infection, yes it would be normal to have a higher neutrophil count.

Lymphocytes are more involved with viral infections so I can't see how

they would be related to your bleeding/gum problems.

What are your platelets these days?...... I could see how they could

be low with a bleeding problem.

Hope it clears up,

Tracey
