Question
Hi,in a child with post viral infection neutropenia,which might take a few days sometimes also a week to pick up again,how do we manage and what is the mean duration of time to expect the counts to increase? Check out the answer.
Answer
You need to regularly follow up the child. Usually the neutrophil count starts to show a rising trend within a few days of resolution of clinical disease. A serial CBC is required. Neutropenia that occurs with common childhood viral diseases develops during the first 1 to 2 days of illness and may persist for 3 to 8 days. If it persists longer a bone marrow examination may be required.
