If you don't have enough white blood cells you can suffer from cancers like leukemia.
White blood cells are our way of fighting infection. When we become infected with say the Flu Virus, our immune system manages to identify the virus cells and it then produces more white cells to destroy the viruses. If we have a low white cell count, then our abillity to fight infections is diminished or reduced. Hope this helps.
A person with leukemia may have low red blood cells due to bone marrow being replaced by cancer cells, hindering normal red blood cell production. Low white blood cells and platelets may occur due to leukemia cells crowding out normal blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to decreased production of white blood cells and platelets.

B6 and B12 deficit can lead to anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia or pancytopenia, that is low red blood cells, low white blood cells, low platelets or low blood cells in general.
Yes, low white blood cell count can increase the risk of developing mouth sores. White blood cells play a crucial role in fighting off infections, and a decrease in their count can make the body more susceptible to infections, including those that can lead to mouth sores.
Granulocytopenia-- A condition characterized by a deficiency of white blood cells.
Neutropenia is a low level of white blood cells (WBC), which are called neutrophils
low blood counts white and red blood cells

It depends on how low. The white blood cells are the infection fighting cells. An individual with a wbc below 1000 would be at risk of catching an infection ,and not have the ability to fight it off.
