Presentation
It is most commonly diagnosed after a patient presents with an opportunistic infection and can also be associated with malignancies and autoimmune diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In our patients, the prevalence of leukopenia ( 9 /l) was only 27%, whereas lymphopenia ( 9 /l) was present in 62% of patients at presentation ( Table 1 ). [doi.org]

METHODS: The Turkish Research Team-HF (TREAT-HF) is a network which undertakes multi-center observational studies in HF. Data on 392 HF reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) patients from 8 HF centers are presented here. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics reported that a low lymphocyte count because of fighting the bacterial disease can also further weaken the immune system. 10 Stress It is known that stress can weaken the immune system and cause you to get more infections [healthyandnaturalworld.com]
- Progressive Dementia
The patient was admitted to our hospital because of progressive dementia and gait disturbance. T2-weighted MR images showed high-intensity lesions in his left frontal white matter thalamus, cerebellum and brainstem. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
Further radiologic studies, hemato-oncologic, and autoimmune workups were normal. The patient was discharged on the treatment for tuberculosis. Follow-up after 8 weeks revealed a persistent low CD4 count, and the repeated HIV tests were negative. [dovepress.com]
Workup included a punch biopsy of the left medial thigh ulcer which revealed necrotizing granulomatous dermatitis with acid-fast bacilli detected on Fite stain ( Figure 1B–D ). [haematologica.org]
Further workup ensued and he was found to have at that time asymptomatic cryptococcal meningitis [ 8 ]. Learning Points/Take Home Message 1. [omicsonline.org]
At any rate, viral-type-and-strain testing could be conducted on the extremely remote chance something was missed in your initial workup. [thebody.com]
Despite whatever symptoms and signs might be presenting themselves, the answers are all in the blood—that is, the only way low lymphocytes can be diagnosed is through a complete blood panel workup done by your doctor. [doctorshealthpress.com]
X-Ray
- Air Bronchogram
The most common CT findings were lobar consolidation with air bronchogram and ground-glass opacities. For 7 recovering patients, the time to resolution of the chest CT findings was 10-90 days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Listeria Monocytogenes
There was one case of Listeria monocytogenes bacteraemia, a classic intracellular organism requiring intact cell-mediated immunity for body defense. 6 Krau et al. reported seven cases of listeriosis in SLE patients, all having severe lymphopenia and receiving [doi.org]
Treatment
Many treatment options were tried for the warts, with the most significant response to acitretin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This binary treatment destination was used as a marker of disease activity. [doi.org]
The treatment for this condition also depends on its cause and severity. Mild lymphocytopenia may not require treatment. If an underlying condition is successfully treated, lymphocytopenia will likely improve. [daviddarling.info]
In many cases, this means drug or radiation therapy must be stopped and antibiotic treatment begun immediately, even while awaiting test results. Treatment may also include antifungal preparations. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Those suffering from lymphopenia have a dependent prognosis. This condition can come and go; especially when a person is in treatment for cancer. [healthosphere.com]
OBJECTIVE: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Consume enough protein Making sure that your diet contains enough protein will help to prevent low lymphocytes. [healthyandnaturalworld.com]
Lifestyle Remedies to Prevent Lymphocytopenia There are also a number of lifestyle changes that could help you prevent lymphocytopenia, or low lymphocyte levels. [doctorshealthpress.com]
If you have lymphocytopenia, you may get treatment to prevent infections or to treat infections you already have. You also can take other steps to prevent infections. For example: Stay away from people who are sick, and avoid large crowds of people. [daviddarling.info]
