Hi Chris,

Thanks for the clarification.

When I had my 0 WBC count 20+ yrs ago and ended up in hospital with some sort of infection and a fever of 104 - 106, I suspect now I had ehrliciosis, which wasn't recognized in humans until 1999 (I was first ill in 1991). There are several infections that they know about that will kill off white cells, lyme, rickettsia, ehrlicia, rocky mountain spotted fever. There's probably a lot more plus viruses they don't know about.

Hope Rachal is feeling better and hope her WBC & neutrophils rebound soon!

Deb
