Hi looking for some information regarding recent blood works as OH informed his white blood cells were slightly low . He is due to have them repeated in 4 weeks.

He was quite I’ll with Covid 2 weeks ago (received antiviral infusion ) and we wonder if this is why . They are usually within normal limits.

Thank you.

Hi Main1234, I guess you are to some extent in unchartered waters with the new antiviral drugs. When you say low white blood cells is it Neutrophils or Lymphocytes (B cells, T cells)? Those are the two readings I get with my bloods. I suppose fighting any virus is going to have a temporary depletion of the immune system. Chris

It’s his neutrophils. Thanks for your reply we will just have to wait for next blood works.
