- Lymphopenia is a redcution in the numbers of lymphocytes in the blood.
- Occurs in:
- Viruses that attack the lymphoid system.
- For example:
- Canine Distemper
- Infectious Canine Hepatitis
- Feline Infectious Enteritis
- Bovine Virus Diarrhoea.
- For example:
- Irradiation
- Corticosteroid therapy.
- Selectively suppresses lymphocytic activity, and the inflammatory response in general.
- Viruses that attack the lymphoid system.
- Other immunosuppressive drugs may act in a similar way.
