Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutropenia, a condition characterized by an abnormally low number of neutrophils, increases the risk of infections. Fever is a common sign of infection in neutropenic patients. Fatigue can result from the body's increased metabolic demand during infection. Tachycardia and tachypnea may occur as the body attempts to meet the oxygen demands during an infection or inflammatory process. Hypertension is not typically associated with neutropenia or its direct clinical manifestations.
