<Abstract>Exposure to radiation, suffering from severe diseases for long periods of time, regular intensive chemotherapy, and mineral deficiency may result in leukopenia, a depleted condition of white blood cells in the human body, depending on their levels of intensity. This elevates the body¡¯s susceptibility to infection. To date, the primary techniques in practice for the short-term treatment of leukopenia are cytokine therapy and steroid administration, each of which causes serious long-term health effects such as hormonal imbalance. This paper aims at the presentation and experimentation of a new technique for the treatment of leukopenia with minimal side effects by devising and using silver composite nanoparticles. This is the first paper to present a safe bio-physical technique using composite nanoparticles for the immediately effective short-term treatment of infection under leukopenia. The increase in efficiency of a blood sample in fighting against pathogenic bacteria cells on application of this technique in vitro is observed through plotted graphical representations of experimental results.</Abstract>
