Transient neonatal neutropenia - what does this mean
Transient neonatal neutropenia is a rare disorder that occurs in newborns, usually within the first week or two of life. it is caused by a decrease in the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infection. it is usually self-limiting, and the neutrophil count typically returns to normal within a few weeks without any specific treatment.
What happens during the disease - transient neonatal neutropenia
Transient neonatal neutropenia is a disorder characterized by a decrease in the number of neutrophils in the blood. it is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as a mother's exposure to certain medications or infections during pregnancy. the exact cause of the disorder is unknown, but it is believed to be due to an immune reaction in the newborn's body that causes a decrease in the production of neutrophils. it is also possible that the disorder is caused by a defect in the neutrophil production process in the bone marrow.
