A member asked:

My 8 year old son has low neutrophils (1.70 k/microl) and low lymphocytes (1.3 k/microl) overall wbc is 3.6. what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need a workup: These are both just a little bit low for his age. Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either side. I'm assuming he feels well and all the formed elements of the blood appear normal. He's in no danger now, and I suspect he'll simply be followed.
