Hi, My husband has been very ill with pneumonia for the past several weeks. The Dr. says his pneumonia is gone but his white cell count is still very low, 1.5. All of his other tests are back in normal range. Why is his white count still so low? Is it possible the pneumonia is not really gone? Is this a sign of Leukemia?
Thanks for query. Low WBC is seen in infections as you may your husband had pneumonia. Probably that is the reason it takes time to reflect. Count 1.5 you mention is it WBC or neutrophil, is it 1500 cells or 150 ?.please provide some details so that I can give you more clarity. Regards
