Neutropenia – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Neutrophils play a crucial role in the immune system by ingesting, destroying, and digesting invading microorganisms, encompassing fungi and bacteria. Failure to fulfill this role results in immunodeficiency, characterized primarily by recurrent infections. A standard circulating neutrophil count is above 1.5 x 10/L. Neutropenia, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) below 1500 per microliter (1500/microL), can be categorized as asymptomatic (mild), moderate, or severe, indicating the risk of infection. The severity of neutropenia is stratified as follows: · Mild: 1000 to 1500/mcL (1 to 1.5 × 10^9/L) · Moderate: 500 to 1000/mcL (0.5 to 1 × 10^9/L) · Severe: < 500/mcL (< 0.5 × 10^9/L) Primary defects in neutrophil function involve failures in adhering to endothelial cells, abnormal chemotaxis, inadequate bacterial ingestion and killing, insufficient p...
