Hi doctor,My son is 15 years. He got his DTaP vaccine two weeks ago and had CBC 20 days later. All came well except neutrophil count, which came back as 800 and total WBC 2500. We are going to repeat the test tomorrow. Can the vaccine be the cause for the neutropenia? And if so, how long will it take to recover?
Hi. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: If the count continues to be low compared to previous report before vaccination then bone marrow aspiration or biopsy needs to be done. Revert back after the investigations to a hematologist online.- Take care.
