If the doctor believes you may have neutropenia, he/she will require a blood test, which will provide a complete blood count. Another option for diagnosing neutropenia is a bone marrow examination. During that procedure, a biopsy, or sample, of bone marrow is collected. Bone marrow examinations are an excellent way for the doctor to view the bone marrow and blood cells in detail.
