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.

What effect would leukopenia have on the health of a person?

A decline in the number of leukocytes (white BLOOD cells) circulating in the blood to fewer than 4,000 leukocytes per microliter of whole blood. The most common manifestation of leukopenia is NEUTROPENIA, a shortage of granulocytes called neutrophils. Most leukopenia is secondary to other health conditions a person may have, such as viral infections or cancers that involve the BONE MARROW, and circumstances, such as CHEMOTHERAPY. Numerous medications can cause leukopenia as an undesired SIDE EFFECT of treatment. In such situations the doctor will evaluate the relative value of the inherent risks in continuing or discontinuing the causative medication. Leukopenia lowers the body's ability to resist and fight INFECTION and when severe can allow life-threatening infections to invade. Frequent or unusual infections, especially persistent GINGIVITIS or periodontitis, may suggest leukopenia. Treatment targets any infection or other underlying cause.

Holistic concept of health?

The word holistic comes from 'whole'. Therefore a holistic concept of health considers the whole person, rather than just the separate aspects of health. It recognises that each one of the aspects of health has an impact on the other ones. For example if a person is emotionally upset, their mental and physical health can also be affected. So could their social and spiritual health. Another example could be that if a person is not physically fit, because they have injuries, it would affect them emotionally as they are bound to be upset, and this could affect their mental health, which could then affect their social health, as they will not have the ability to make and maintain relationships. It is very difficult to separate the aspects of health as they are interrelated and interdependent.
