My aunt went into the hospital due to a constant fever and nausea. While there they told her that her white blood cells where in critical conditions. They can't figure out what is causing this problem. Now she is back in ICU & on a ventilator. Is there anything they could be over looking? Need help before its to late.

I have a friend with low white cell count and persistent diarrhea. My husband died mysteriously nine years ago with no symptoms except low blood count, he had a heart attack. his death was never explicable to hospital or his doctors even after autopsy. My friend has asked me for advice and I don't know what to tell her but I am worried about her. Any advice

My white blood count is 0.50, I have no fever,no infection, feel pretty good. No cancer or Chemo. I am a white male, 63 years of age and my doctor does not seem concerned. How much danger am I in. I'm running a BP of 140/105 and pulse between 44-65. I take BP medication, am a sleep apnea patient, and Retired. I was taking TOPAMAX for Neuropathy, but have quit taking the drug , to see if that is the cause. Should I go to the Hospital.

My husband's WBC is 'dangerously low'. He does not have cancer nor has he had any chemo or radiation. He has been referred to an speciality MD, but he can't get in for a month. Should I been concerned? Anything I can do? Why is this happening?

This article on treating low white blood count never even mentioned treatment. The preceding article called chemotherapy a type of selective smart bomb which is a lie probably meant to encourage chemo by implying it harmed nothing but cancer cells -- you shoud be ashamed.

The infectious disease doctor said that if his white blood cell count doesn't come up on its own, they would do some procedure having to do with bone marrow. He is 77 and does not have cancer or chemo. Think he might have a strong virus. I was not there when the doctor visited his hospital room and he doesn't "tune into" medical talk! Help me, his wife!
