An increase in the number of leukocytes over the upper limits is called leukocytosis, and a decrease below the lower limit is called leukopenia.

Leukopenia is the reduction in the number of white blood cells, which may affect the overall white cell count or one of the specific populations of white blood cells.

In the absence of splenomegaly, leukopenia may reflect bone marrow involvement, but the most common mechanism is a redistribution of blood T cells to sites of disease.

- An abnormal lowering of the white blood cell count
- Leukopenia (also known as leukocytopenia or leucopenia, from Greek u03BBu03B5u03C5u03BAu03CCu03C2 "white" and u03C0u03B5u03BDu03AFu03B1 "deficiency") is a decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) found in the blood, which places individuals at increased risk of infection.
- A condition characterized by an abnormally low total number of circulating leukocytes.
- (loo-ko-PEEN-ee-uh) decrease in the while blood cell count, often a side effect of chemotherapy.
- A deficiency in white blood cells, which protect the body against disease-causing microorganisms. Can be a side effect of some TN medications.
- A decrease in the number of leukocytes below the normal range.
- The antithesis of leukocytosis; any situation in which the total number of leukocytes in the circulating blood is less than normal, the lower limit of which is generally regarded as 4000-5000/mm^3
- Leukopenia indicates a decreased total WBC count. It is usually characterized by decreased numbers of circulating neutrophils. The most common causes of leukopenia are excessive consumption in an inflammatory process and primary bone marrow disease. ...
