Overview
History and Symptoms
Agranulocytosis may be asymptomatic, or may clinically present with sudden fever, rigors and sore throat. Infection of any organ may be rapidly progressive (e.g., pneumonia, urinary tract infection). Septicemia may also progress rapidly.
Neutropenia and agranulocytosis are associated with gum diseases, such as gingival bleeding, saliva increase, halitosis, osteoporosis, and destruction of periodontal ligament.[citation needed]
