The normal value of leukocytes is (4~10) x 10^9/L, and 2.88 x 10^9/L suggests a low level of leukocytes. It may be associated with physiological factors such as exertion, or with infections, aplastic anemia, lupus erythematosus, leukemia and other diseases. Patients can be treated by general therapy, anti-infection, and use of immunosuppressants.
1. Physiological factors: When you are tired, fatigued, hungry, or during the physiological period of women, the level of white blood cells will be lowered, which can be helped to return to normal through proper rest and nutrition.
2. Bacterial infections: long-term bacterial infections can cause white blood cell depletion, and patients may experience a decrease in white blood cell levels, patients can use amoxicillin, levofloxacin and other antibiotics for treatment.
3. Aplastic anemia: aplastic anemia can lead to insufficient white blood cell production, patients can inhibit bleeding through drugs such as phenol sulfonyl ethylamine, you can also use cyclosporine and other drugs for immunosuppressive therapy.
4. Systemic lupus erythematosus: Systemic lupus erythematosus will lead to immune abnormality and decrease in the speed of white blood cell renewal, and patients can use methotrexate, merti-macrolide and other immunosuppressant drugs for treatment.
5. Acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome: such as acute myeloid leukemia can also lead to leukopenia, need to be a cytarabine, Zoerythromycin and other drugs chemotherapy.
It is recommended that patients seek medical attention as soon as possible to clarify the cause of the disease and use medication under the guidance of the doctor.
