Your white blood cells help to fight infection. A fever is your body's response to kill infection by increasing it's temperature. All in all if you have a fever there is an infection present, to have a low white count on top of this can mean many things. Best thing to do is talk to your doctor.

What does it mean when your white cell count is up and everything else is down?

When the white blood cell count is less than 4,000 per cubic mm, you are said to have low white blood cell count. You have such low white blood cell count in viral infections, chlamydia infections, rickettsial infections, in malaria and typhoid fever. Incidentally they are all the infections inside your cells. White blood cells can not attack them with out killing your body cells.

White blood cells fight bacterial infections in our bodies. So an increase in white blood cells from their normal level would often indicate a bacterial infection. Very often an antibiotic is prescribed to treat the condition.


What effect can low white blood cells do to your body and the cure?

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.


Why would a person with leukemia have low numbers of red blood cells normal white blood cells and platelets in the blood?

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.

They are cofactors in the synthesis of DNA so their function resides in the reproduction and maduration of blood cells. 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.


Why is it you need to watch for bleeding in dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is a complication of Dengue Fever. It's name implies that is indeed a haemorrhagic fever which means the victim suffers from low platelet counts. Platelets are the small cell fragments in the body that serve to "close up" wounds, congealing into a mass that staunches bleeding. When these counts are low, the body is unable to close up tears in blood vessels which lead to fatal haemorrhage. This leads to dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which means that vital organs shut down from lack of oxygen and blood flow. These complications occur in less than 5% of all dengue fever cases, but at the first sign of such complications, immediate and total intervention is necessary.
