Leukopenia, low white blood cell count (WBC), is a hallmark sign of the blood dyscrasia call leukemia. However, there are other reasons for a low white count. This needs to be reviewed by a specialist
Any condition that affects bone marrow health or the immune system can affect white blood count. Specifically, low count can be a symptom of anemia, lupus, HIV/AIDS, severe Allergies, thyroid disease, vitamin deficiency, RA, parasites.... the list goes on.
A low WBC count certainly doesn't just point to leukemia
The White Blood Cells in the blood system decreases the ability of the body to fight against sickness and diseases
Ehrlichiosis, cytomegalovirus, Leukemia, lymphoma, and HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS. It attacks a particular white blood cell, the T lymphocyte.
it is a low level of white blood cells. it may happen after a recent infection like a cold or flu. this can result in leukopenia.
true
leukopenia
About one third of the white blood cells in the body are specialized agranulocytes. Agranulocytes lack the granules found in some other white blood cells.
Red marrow produces red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and cell fragments called platelets. RBCs carry oxygen through out the body, WBCs fight off infections by bacteria and viruses, other "invaders" and platelets are necessary for blood clotting.
This is a biology question, but the answer is Prokaryotic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Red blood cells also lack a nucleus.
Anemia is a disease where the blood doesn't carry enough oxygen, due to either a lack of blood cells or hemoglobin, or damage to the blood cells or hemoglobin.
The S bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, so it is not engulfed by the host's white blood cells. That means that it is able to proliferate and spread. The R bacteria lack the capsule (like the mutant S bacteria), so the white blood cells are able to detect and eliminate them.
White blood cells have. But erithrocytes lack many
An excess of white blood cells can be an indicator of the presence of Leukemia.
stress ,lack of vitamin d , adopted from family member, or lack of white blood cells

Leukopenia is the medical term for decreased white blood cells.
Lymphocytes and monocytes.
The red blood cells. This is because it will increase surface area for the absorption of oxygen.
No, an increase in white blood cells COULD do that. (but only if there is a lack of a certain type of WBC)
No, anemia is found in Red Blood Cells, it is when there is a lack of iron to create enough Hemoglobin to supply your tissue with oxygen
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes) are very different. Red blood cells are round, lack a nucleus and function to carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells can be many different shapes, have a nucleus and function to detect and destroy invading pathogens.
The only true cell among the formed elements of blood is the white blood cell (leukocyte). Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and platelets (thrombocytes) are not considered true cells because they lack a nucleus and other organelles.
