My mother was diagnosed with Lukopenia and has been receiving monthly infusions as part of her treatment. However the last two times shes had reactions to the infusion and tonight, 1 day after her most recent infusion went to the ER vomiting and in pain from the infusion.  Is this normal? What can we do? Is it possible she was mis-diagnosed?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Leukocyte infusion can induce allergic reactions2. The reactions are becoming more severe. 3. Leukemia cause needs to be identified. Leukocyte transfusions are not safe always. After a period, it is going to induce reactions. Cause needs to be identified. If severe and it is pancytopenia, peripheral stem cells from you can be harvested and stem cell transplantation can be tried.  Leukemia alone is not seen usually. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
