Leukopenia means low white blood cell (WBC) count, which weakens your immunity. But did you know it's graded by severity?
WBC count: 3000–4000/mm³
Often has no symptoms and may be picked up during routine blood tests.
WBC count: 2000–2999/mm³
May lead to frequent infections, fatigue, and slower wound healing.
WBC count: 1000–1999/mm³
High risk of infections; urgent intervention is usually needed.
WBC count: <1000/mm³
A life-threatening condition with a critically weakened immune system.
The lower the grade, the higher your risk of infections, inflammation, and complications. Early diagnosis is key.
