7. Levels of Neutrophils

The necessary count of neutrophils ranges based on age and race. Both African Americans and children have lower numbers of neutrophils than adults or Caucasians and Asians. However, for adults, the level should be above 1,500 cells/mm3. The risk for infections does not increase until neutrophil count drops below 1,000 cells/mm3.
