Agranulocytosis
Alternate Names : Malignant Neutropenia
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis of agranulocytosis begins with a medical history and physical exam. The provider may order a complete blood count, or CBC, with a differential. This blood test measures the level of neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. Genetic testing may be done if heredity is suspected to be the cause.
If blood tests are abnormal, the provider may order a bone marrow biopsy. This test involves inserting a special needle into the hip bone. A sample is taken from the bone marrow.
