Infectious diseases are a common cause of leukocyte and neutropenia, such as influenza, which can be cured with antiviral and symptomatic treatment.
Aplastic anemia, leukemia, and severe iron deficiency anemia, in which leukocytes and neutrophils are also reduced, can be clearly diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy, and the condition can be controlled with timely and effective treatment.
Radiation, chemotherapeutic agents, antipyretics, antibiotics, and some hypoglycemic agents can cause a decrease in leukocytes and neutrophils, a condition that requires prompt removal of the causative agent followed by symptomatic treatment and, if necessary, finding alternative treatments.
Low white blood cells and low neutrophils predispose patients to a low immune system, which can lead to infections. Therefore, when low white blood cells and low neutrophils are detected, it is important to prevent infections and take care of rest to avoid life-threatening infections due to severe infections.
In addition to medication, low white blood cells can be improved through diet. The diet can be supplemented with red dates, peanut rice, bone broth and animal offal, and more fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish vitamins, with a balanced diet of meat and vegetables to improve the body’s resistance.
