Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Yes, if your lymphocytes count falls further, infection possibility increases.
2. You need to be on regular therapy and avoid exposure to any infection or infected person.
3. Do continue with infusions to improve immunity
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
