Aleukocytosis
Definition
A rare pathological condition characterized by the total absence or extreme, critical, and potentially fatal decrease of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the peripheral blood. It represents a severe manifestation of bone marrow aplasia or major hematopoietic disorders, exposing the organism to an imminent risk of massive opportunistic infections due to the complete collapse of the immune system.
