Neutropenia is a condition in which there are not enough neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood.
European Cooperation in Science and Technology Nov 5 2024 Neutrophils are essential for the body's defence against infection, destroying bacteria and viruses. Early diagnosis of neutropenia allows for more effective patient care, prevention of infections and timely treatment of patients. This is why the research into neutropenia carried out by the COST Action European Network for Innovative Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Neutropenias is so important.
To prevent acquired neutropenia, it is important not to take any drugs or substances, including natural supplements, without medical advice. It is also important to eat a balanced diet rich in B12, folic acid, iron and copper to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Knowing if someone has congenital neutropenia can help protect their family and give important genetic advice before having children. Furthermore, it ensures that mothers receive the appropriate care during pregnancy.
The Action has produced numerous publications in prestigious journals. Particularly important are the Common EU Guidelines on diagnosing and managing Neutropenia jointly published by EuNET-INNOCHRON and the European Haematology Association. These guidelines that benefit patients, families, doctors, and healthcare systems globally were developed with experts from Europe and the United States. They are crucial for standardising the diagnosis and treatment of chronic neutropenia.
