A member asked:
Was in hospital with a viral infection. when i was leaving the doctor said my white blood cells are low and get a blood test next week should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Many viral illnesses cause a decrease in the WBC count. It returns to normal shortly after the viral infection resolves.
