Hey Chirley,
Having a history of AA, I have always had low lymphocytes, and with my recent Rituximab treatment they will be totally wiped-out on purpose... and my Doc said that I just need to watch out for the nasty viral infections. She said that having neutropenia was more of a concern.
But don't know if that was just her opinion or....
I guess the neutrophils fight the bad bacterial infections? But not sure how the lymhocytes do their job. Like to know more myself.
Hope you find some info.
Take care,
Julie
