Neutrophils

Hello guys. I hope all is well. Have any of you experience with low neutrophils. I gave a bone marrow biopsy this proved inconclusive. They are concerned and this may prevent me taking a course of alemtuzumab. Anyone have experience id be grateful. Thanks

I picked this up from Googling around, "Lemtrada can cause a decrease in neutrophils (a type of white blood cells important in fighting in bacterial infections)" Neurtrophils are also mentioned in this MS related article :- http://multiple-sclerosis-research.blogspot.com/2015/01/neutrophils-new-problem-for-ms.html I think @us-emma may have a view on this.

Hi, yep, low neutrophils here too, BUT mine is related Gilenya. Currently rocking 0.3 lymphocytes (normal range 1.5-4.0) and neutrophils 2.4 (normal range 4.0-11.0). But, it has been like this for two years and I work in a Microbiology lab with no untoward effects so far.
