. I had a neutrophill count of 0.48 last week. I am 45 and had a baby 16 months ago. I have felt fine until the start of August where apparently I had glandular fever. i have had 3 covid tests and all negative. I feel low in energy as to be expected with my son and breastfeeding. he has been sick all summer as well. We both have horrendous coughs atm. I got a major mouth infection 3 weeks ago... Ulcers the size of 10p pieces on my tongue, couldn't speak, eat or drink, which prompted me to get my bloods done and this is what they found.

I am so worried that this is more serious, I am getting my bloods done again today. I am a secondary school teacher and am contact with so many children. I am not sure if I should be in work and can't find any info on that on the internet. can you work in a school with neutrophenia? I can't get a rest my son has been off sick with me for the last two weeks also.I don't know how I can work but I am getting so stressed out as I need to be back before it gets completely crazy busy. can you give me any advice?

    Hi Christine,

    I have low wbc also at the moment so found your post. So sorry to hear your struggles. Have you seen this group on here titled: Autoimmune Neutropenia? A few others have mentioned the mouth sores. I hope you feel better and get some answers! x
