Low white blood cell count (leukopenia) Report

White blood cells (WBC), called leukocytes, help fight infections. A low WBC count is also called leukopenia. There are 5 main subtypes of WBCs, each with different disease-fighting activity. To determine the cause of leukopenia an additional lab test is done to determine percentages of each type.
