    What does it mean if a CBC test shows low white blood cells?

    A low white blood cell (WBC) count, known as leukopenia, indicates a potential issue with the immune system. This may be due to viral infections, certain autoimmune diseases, or bone marrow disorders that suppress WBC production. Chemotherapy, radiation, or medications like immunosuppressants can also lower WBC counts. A low count could leave you more susceptible to infections. Your doctor may order further tests, such as a bone marrow biopsy, to investigate the cause and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
