  • 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.
    • Irradiation
    • Corticosteroid therapy.
      • Selectively suppresses lymphocytic activity, and the inflammatory response in general.
      • Other immunosuppressive drugs may act in a similar way.
