If acute inflammation is so severe that neutrophils are rapidly consumed at the injury site, it can lead to neutropenia, a decreased number of mature neutrophils in the blood because the bone marrow cannot keep up with the demand.
Neutropenia - todos os neutrófilos possíveis foram liberados, a medula óssea não consegue acompanhar = diminuição do número de neutrófilos maduros no sangue (estão todos no tecido!).
