A member asked:
My wbc was is low and the lowest was just 3.0 what could be wrong . had a couple of low reads 4 yrs ago md said not to worry do i need to?

I agree: Approximately 6-15% of the population has a low wbc. Women typically have a lower WBC than men. However, it should be periodically monitored. As long as the other cell lines(red and platelets) are okay, i would monitor. You could ask a hematologist to review the peripheral blood smear but probably ok. Hope this helps.

No: This may be your normal. If you get ever, see your doctor or go to emergency room of a hospital.
