Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold and fever, but now I'm better. However, two days ago, my blood test showed low white blood cell count. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello: In such cases, only active antibiotic treatment can be considered. It is recommended to visit the hospital first to conduct a detailed drug sensitivity test. Leukopenia is commonly caused by the following three reasons: ① impaired white blood cell production, ② excessive white blood cell destruction due to infection, and ③ abnormal distribution of white blood cells, where various reasons lead to an increase in white blood cells in the marginal pool. If the levels are significantly low, a bone marrow examination should be performed to check for blood disorders.
