What is the outlook for people who have agranulocytosis?

Agranulocytosis is treatable with medication, but the outlook varies from person to person. Adults over 65 are more likely to experience complications such as sepsis. Agranulocytosis can cause severe problems in people who have other health conditions, such as kidney disease, heart disease or breathing problems.

Untreated, agranulocytosis leads to severe infection and death. The risk of infection increases the longer the neutrophil count remains dangerously low.
