The normal range for the white blood cell count varies between laboratories but is usually between 4,300 and 10,800 cells per cubic millimeter of blood.
A low white blood cell count in adults is generally defined as fewer than 3,500 white blood cells per microliter of blood.
Having the same results for low white blood count, it presents your real condition, or, in other words the result have been determined as being true.
Your doctor should find the cause for your leukopenia.
This can result from bone marrow suppression due to infection, cancer, associated with systemic diseases as lupus, vitamin deficiency, or induced by use of certain medicines (antibiotics, thyroid medications, diuretics, chemotherapy drugs)
Being a leukopenic, you are at increased risk for infections.

I have my CBC done once a week and 3.5 is not bad - mine is never that high. You should not just look at the WBC but also the break down of types of white blood cells, just to make sure all is okay with them. Everything is probably fine though and not worth worrying about, but it is sometimes good to have the breakdown done just to keep for your information.

kimberleycalli - i have problems with my tonsils and am going to be having them out due to tonsil stones and frequent infections and a hole in one. I have also been dignosed with neutropenia and referred to a haematolgist - could we chat as it sounds like we have similar probs and I would really like someone to chat too and stuff as i feel a tiny bit scared! i have no other medical problems but i do get more than my fair share of infections! thanks ; )

Hi Saratronic! I am cool with chatting and I definately understand about wanting others to talk to in the same situation.

I know about the tonsil thing. I always have problems with mine or what is left of them. I still have them, but most doctors look at them and think I've had them out bc they are very small.
