A member asked:
Is a low wbc count (3.0, 3.3, 2.5) serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on what is causing the low WBC. If it is something that is transient like some infections it may be by the time you repeat it it is normal. It may be due to disease of the bone marrow, or some persistent infections like HIV and that could be serious. It is important to follow with your doctor for information and necessary management.
