Leukopenia is a condition where a person has fewer white blood cells in their bloodstream than they should. Leukopenia is diagnosed with a blood test called a complete blood count or CBC.

A healthy white blood cell count is between 3,500 and 11,000 white blood cells per microliter. A person with leukopenia may have fewer than 3,500 white blood cells per microliter.

A pernicious disease is one that is capable of causing great injury, destruction, or death. Without treatment, pernicious anemia would be fatal.

ex.) Pernicious  Anemia-
progressive megaloblastic, macrocytic anemia, affecting mainly older people, that results from a lack of intrinsic factor essential for the absorption of vitamin B12.

Bone marrow transplant: Bone marrow is obtained by multiple marrow aspirations under general or spinal anesthesia, usually yielding 500 to 800 mL of marrow. The marrow is cryopreserved (frozen) until it is used.

Intrinsic factor: is a glycoprotein secreted by the gastric mucosa. Enables absorption of vitamin b12

Local pain
Headache; myalgia
Medical management

Penicillin, other antistreptococcal antibiotics

Nursing interventions

- is a malignant neoplastic disease of the bone marrow.
- Neoplastic plasma cells build up in the bone marrow and produce one or more tumors.
- The tumors destroy bone (osseous) tissue, especially in flat bones, causing pain, fractures, and skeletal deformities.

Recombinant factor VIII replacement therapy has changed the prognosis for the patient with hemophilia. It prevents spontaneous bleeding with fewer intravenous infusions and expected to reduce the incidence of septic arthritis in hemophilia. The advantage of this product is viral safety, unlimited supply, and lower cost, and now commercially available for widespread use.

Malignant disorder of the hematopoietic system in which excessive numbers of abnormal leukocytes accumulate in the bone marrow and lymph nodes.
Signs and Symptoms:
Bone or joint pain, fatigue, decrease activity tolerance, irritability.
Medication Treatment:
Eradicate with chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant.
Nursing Intervention:
Prevent infection by teaching the patient and family the appropriate precautions for the neutropenic patient and the avoidance of infectious agents. With this type of disease, since the mortality rate is high. the nurses care is mostly palliative and have to be understanding and give the family emotional support.
