A low white blood cell count, particularly of neutrophils, which weakens defense against bacterial infection. Blood testing detects the shortfall and gauges how much infection risk it carries.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for low white blood cell count (leukopenia / neutropenia) and hundreds of other conditions.
The absolute count of neutrophils per liter of blood. While neutrophil percentage shows the proportion among white blood cells, the absolute count reveals the actual number available to fight infections. This is clinically essential, because a normal percentage can mask a dangerously low absolute count if total white blood cells are reduced.
NeutrophilsNeutrophils (primary bacterial fighters) respond rapidly to acute infections.
LeukocytesLeukocytes, also known as white blood cells, are crucial for immune system function: the total white blood cell count measures overall immune activity, while differential testing examines specific cell types.
