I was told by my doctor that i have a low white cell count. what can be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Primary or secondary blood disorder, infection, immunologic diseases, medication, and many other possibilities. Most causes would be treatable. If this has been confirmed then consultation with a hematologist would be appropriate.
