The effect of COVID-19 on absolute neutrophil counts in patients taking clozapine [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology, 2020 Clozapine is associated with haematological side effects, including neutropaenia, which can signal impending life-threatening agranulocytosis. Patients with COVID-19 infection frequently experience lymphopaenia, but not neutropaenia. We present 13 patients established on clozapine who developed COVID-19 infection.

Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and outcome from coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
, 2007 Background: An elevated preoperative white blood cell count has been associated with a worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Leukocyte subtypes, and particularly the neutrophil-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, may however, convey superior ...

The Absolute Neutrophil Count:Is It the Best Indicator for Occult Bacteremia in Infants? [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1998 Occult bacteremia affects approximately 5% of febrile children ages 2 to 36 months. Many physicians empirically treat children who have a temperature higher than 39 degrees C, a white blood cell (WBC) count of more than 15.0 x 10(9)/L, and no focus of infection with antibiotics. We undertook this investigation to better define predictive indicators for
