Is a White Blood Cell Count of 3.17 Serious?
1. A leukocyte count of 3.17x10⁹/L is generally considered serious.
2. The normal leukocyte count ranges from 4-10x10⁹/L. A leukocyte count of 3.17x10⁹/L (note: it should be 3.17x10⁹/L, not 3.17x100⁹/L as stated earlier) is below the normal range. This condition indicates leukopenia, which can have various causes such as viral infections like influenza. Other hematological disorders, such as aplastic anemia, may also result in leukopenia. Patients must follow their doctor's advice for examination and treatment. If diagnosed with influenza, antiviral medications such as Ribavirin Tablets and Aciclovir Tablets can be used. For aplastic anemia, patients can take medications like Deferasirox Dispersible Tablets and Stanozolol Tablets as prescribed by their doctor.
3. Generally, patients can consume foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits like cabbage, celery, apples, and strawberries. They should avoid spicy foods.
