It's more of a symptom than a disease. Basically your sister has an excess number of white blood cells. This can be caused by numerous things, from bacterial infection, to appendicitis, to cancer. Don't be alarmed by these possibilities. We're not talking about a disease your sister has, just a condition caused by a disease, a condition you'd expect and even want if you were sick. White blood cells are there to help her. It's just that when they proliferate like that, it can have negative side effects. It's like a fever. The fever helps fight the germs, but it also makes you weak.

A neutropille is a type of White blood cell. Neutrophilia means that the Neutrophiles make up a greater than normal percentage of the differnrt types of WBCs in her blood. This is common. If she has been diagnosed with netrophilia that means someone has alrady looked at her blood on a microscope, and she doesn't have cancer. Most likely she has a bacterial infection that her body is trying to fight, so it has called out reserve neutrophiles from her bone marrow.

Basically, it's a sign of infection. Neutrophils are white blood cells that increase in number the body has an infection to fight. She probably has some kind of bacterial infection and the doctor will put her on an antibiotic.
Most likely, it won't get any worse than that.
