Basopenia (or basocytopenia) is a form of agranulocytosis associated with a deficiency of basophils.[1] It has been proposed as an indicator of ovulation.[2] It is difficult to detect without flow cytometry, because normal levels are so low.[3] It can be defined as less than 0.01 x 109 / L.[4] Basopenia has been observed in a number of conditions, including after the administration of corticosteroids and in disease states such as chronic urticaria and lupus.[5]
