White Blood Cell Disorders

White blood cell disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions affecting the body’s immune system. Leukopenia, characterized by low white blood cell (WBC) counts, may arise from infections, autoimmune disorders, or bone marrow issues.

Conversely, leukocytosis, an elevation in WBCs, can indicate inflammation, infection, or leukemia. Neutropenia (low neutrophils) increases infection susceptibility, while neutrophilia may signal acute bacterial infections. Lymphocytosis or lymphocytopenia involves abnormalities in lymphocytes, critical immune cells.

Myeloproliferative disorders result in the overproduction of specific WBCs, potentially progressing to leukemia.
Conditions like chronic granulomatous disease and severe combined immunodeficiency compromise immune function. Treatment strategies vary, encompassing addressing underlying causes, immunosuppressive therapies, or bone marrow transplantation. Regular blood count monitoring is crucial for effective management and complication prevention.
