Fever

Hi Chirley,
As far as I understand low neutrophils only means that we can't fight infections as well as if we have a neutrophil count of 1.5 or higher. Then we know that your neutrophils have been very effective and you have managed with very low counts.

Your neutrophils perhaps increased at once when you got the MRSA infection and tried to defeat the infection. Your body eventually reacted a little later and you got fever from the ordinary cytokines that give fever when we are infected.

Hope they will find an effective drug for the MRSA infection!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
