Agrania

/əˈɡreɪniə/ noun

Definition

A condition involving abnormally low counts of granular white blood cells (granulocytes) in the blood.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'granule' + '-ia' (condition), referring to a deficiency or absence of granules in blood cells.

Kelly Says

People with agrania were literally defenseless against infection because their immune cells weren't developing properly—it was a death sentence before modern medicine!
