What does a positive test result for granulocyte immunology mean?
I was diagnosed a year ago with hyperthyroidism & with a low neutrophil count. I had radioiodine treatment in May this year & my neutrophil count went up to within the normal range at last. However, my last blood test showed that I now have hypothyroidism instead ( I have now been prescribed Thyroxine) & my neutrophil level has dropped again. The haematologist stopped seeing me in June but wrote to me with the results of the granulocyte immunology to say that the test was positive & the most likely cause of my neutropenia is autoimmune. What is the likely meaning of this? Could it have anything to do with the fact that a few years before I was born, my father (who was in the RAF) was stationed on Christmas Island? Nuclear testing had been carried out there a few years previously, but not when my father was there.
