Is Leukopenia  Life-Threatening?

A low white blood cell count sounds concerning. But is leukopenia actually dangerous?

It Can Be—If Left Untreated

Leukopenia weakens your immune defence, making it harder to fight off infections. In severe cases, this can be life-threatening.

Infections Can Escalate Quickly

Without enough white blood cells, even a minor infection can turn serious, leading to sepsis or hospitalisation.

Risk Depends on the Cause

Leukopenia caused by temporary factors (like a viral infection or medication) is often reversible. But chronic causes need deeper attention.
