Low neutrophils

[tinacarroll27]

Hi all! Would appreciate any advice about my recent complete blood count results. Everything was normal and fine except my neutrophils, which were low. My neutrophils are 0.82 x109/L and the normal range according to the Lab is 2 - 7.5 x109/L. I do seem to catch infections easily and I take forever to shake them off.

I have looked up all possible causes such as b12 and folate but they are all fine on my last blood tests. Going to get copper tested but I eat liver which is high in copper so I doubt this. I have tested positive for EBV in the past and I also have subclinical Hypothyroid as well but not autoimmune. Are low neutrophils a thing with ME?

Not uncommon in cfsme. Can indicate some sort of infection or recent infection. 90% of my blood tests show I'm neutropenic. Follow up blood work to investigate possible causes don't show anything other than current or recent infection. I think they googled the same thing I did and put it in the pathology report lol.
