Low white blood cell count cannot determine the existence of any pathology on its own. It is a symptom that must be carefully examined in order to determine what is causing it.
White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system and therefore play a protective role against infection. These cells are the first to respond when a foreign agent appears and go to the exact site of infection to destroy it.
A low white blood cell count is not in itself a disease, but it can be the symptom of a pathology. In principle, this condition indicates that the immune system is weakened and, therefore, the body is more vulnerable to infections and bacteria.
The normal number of white blood cells in the blood is not an exact number. On the one hand, it depends on age; on the other hand, there are people who have a low count in relation to the usual average, but do not have any health problems. Therefore, the count alone does not yield definitive conclusions.
