As the absolute neutrophil count falls below 1,000/mm3, incidence and severity of infection rises.

Laboratory and/or medical tests (such as absolute neutrophil count) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects.

An absolute neutrophil count (ANC) chronically less than 500/mm3 is the main sign of Kostmann's.

There are three general guidelines used to classify the severity of neutropenia based on the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) measured in cells per microliter of blood:

Clozapine users in the US, Canada, and the UK must be nationally registered for monitoring of low WBC and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC).

Fever is actually caused by infection in 50% of cases, and bacteremia (bacteria in the bloodstream) may be present in as many as 20% of all patients with an absolute neutrophil count under 1.0.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is a measure of the number of neutrophil granulocytes (also known as polymorphonuclear cells, PMN's, polys, granulocytes, segmented neutrophils or segs) present in the blood.

Febrile neutropenia, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of more than 1.0 x 10 9/liter with a temperature of more than 100.6 F, is the most severe neutropenic complication and can cause prolonged hospitalization.

Treatment is usually given when the symptoms of the disease interfere with the patient's everyday life, or when white blood cell or platelet counts decline to dangerously low levels, such as an absolute neutrophil count below one thousand cells per microliter (1.0 K/uL).

In 1989 after studies demonstrated that it was effective in treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of clozapine solely for that use, requiring regular white blood cell and absolute neutrophil counts.

The former was defined as no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease, an M1 bone marrow, and recovery of peripheral platelet and absolute neutrophil counts; the latter was defined as meeting all criteria for CR except for platelet count recovery.

To be precise, neutropenia is the term normally used to describe absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) of less than 500 cells per microlitre, whereas agranulocytosis is reserved for cases with ANC of less than 100 cells per microlitre.

It is recommended that white blood cell and differential counts should be performed in patients who develop sore throat, fever, or other signs of infection or blood dyscrasia and trazodone should be discontinued if the white blood cell or absolute neutrophil count falls below normal.

According to the drug's FDA-approved prescribing information, the median time to normalization of blood counts in patients with hairy cell leukemia is: two weeks for platelets, five weeks for absolute neutrophil counts, eight weeks for hemoglobin, and nine weeks for a patient to have all three parameters normalized.
