3. Introduction A low basophils level is called basopenia. It can be caused by contaminations, serious hypersensitivities, or an overactive thyroid organ.

4. WHAT HAPPENS IF BASOPHILS ARE LOW A basophil low can also be caused by a severe allergic anaphylactic reaction. Symptoms can include rash, swelling, shortness of breath, vomiting, lightheadedness, low blood pressure, and temporary blindness.

5. CAUSES OF BASOPENIA: acute infection hyperthyroidism stress reactions (such as pregnancy, myocardial infarction) prolonged steroid therapy, chemotherapy, radiation hereditary absence of basophils.

6. OVERACTIVE THYROID: Low basophil levels can happen in individuals with hyperthyroidism or undergoing treatment with thyroid hormones

7. URTICARIA (HIVES) Urticaria (or hives) could be a kind of skin hasty with red and raised bumps, called wheals.

8. LUPUS Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus) is an autoimmune disease , during which the immune system attacks healthy tissues.

9. CORTICOSTEROIDS: Corticosteroids decreases both the activity of basophils and their number.

10. OTHER ASSOCIATIONS: ANXIOUS DEPRESSION: One study of 709 participants associated anxious depression with decreased basophil levels

11. MIXED IMPACTS OF SMOKING : Smoking activates basophils and decreases the level of intact basophils

12. CONDITIONS OF BASOPENIA: GLUCOCORTICOID-INDUCED INFLAMMATION AND HYPERSENSITIVITY ENDOCRINOPATHY XENOBIOTIC-INDUCED

13. BASOPENIA AS AN INDICATOR OF OVULATION At the time of ovulation a statistically significant decrease in the number of basophil count was noted Mean basophil counts during the follicular and progestational phases were 36.6/cumm and 39.3/cumm respectively.
