Chronically low lymphocytes post-ATG?
This is a question related to (but separate from) my recent thread on low WBC.
Prior to ATG for SAA, my lymphocytes were the only cells within normal range (i.e. well over 1000). 7+ months post-ATG, my lymphocytes still have not recovered. They usually run about 350 on my weekly CBC.
My understanding is that lymphocyte counts usually bounce back much faster than this post-ATG. Has anyone else experienced prolonged low lymphocytes post-ATG?
Perhaps it is even related to some other drug I am on, or have been on? I am currently still on cyclosporine, acylclovir, amlodipine, and ambien. Post-ATG (but no longer) I was also on prednizone, voriconazole, levofloxacin, and augmentin.
Thank you,
