White Blood Cells
... Leucopenia means an absolute decrease in white blood cell numbers. The disorder may affect any of the specific types of white blood cells, but most often it affects neutrophils, which, under normal healthy conditions, is the most abundant. A number of conditions may cause leucopenia, including aplas ...
