Granulocytopenia is characterized by a marked reduction in the number of circulating granulocytes.
Alternate Names : Granulocytopenia, Granulopenia, Neutropenia
Definition

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Agranulocytosis is one cause of a person not having enough of a specific type of white blood cells, called neutrophils or granulocytes.
GRANULOCYTOPENIA: an abnormally low number of granulocytes in the circulating blood, which may lead to an increased risk of bacterial infection. In practice, the term is used to refer to neutropenia.
