Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells are the soldiers that constitute the immune system of the human body. In leukopenia there is a diminished white blood cell count. When this happens, the immunity is severely weakened and the individual is at a greater risk of infections.
Detailed explanation-2: -A person has leukopenia when the total WBC count is less than 3.0 x 109/L. A person has neutropenia when the ANC is less than 1.9 x 109/L. The neutrophil count usually decreases with the WBC count, but it is possible to have a normal WBC count and still have neutropenia.
