Symptoms of White Blood Cell Disorders in western medicine
White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are an important part of our immune system that play a vital role in defending the body from various infections. There are different types of white blood cells; neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. All of them are produced in the bone marrow and are found in the lymph tissues and blood. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are called granulocytes. T cells, B cells and natural killer cells are types of lymphocytes. There is a definite life span of these cells; it can be 2 weeks to 3 weeks, after which they are destroyed. The number of leukocytes present in the body changes with advancing age.

Increase or decrease in the number of leukocytes in the blood, leads to different diseases and disorders of the white blood cells. Neutropenia, HIV/AIDS and lymphocytopenia are caused due to low white blood cell count, while leukemia is caused due to high white blood cell count. Because leukocytosis often results in a decrease in the number of healthy white blood cells, symptoms of leukocytosis and neutropenia can be similar. Common symptoms of these white blood cell disorders include:
Anemia
Bruising easily
Fatigue
Frequent infections

Neutropenia can also cause a dangerous condition called septic shock if a child who has neutropenia has a fever higher than 100.5 degrees. If your child has a fever, you should tell the doctor and follow his or her instructions.
