Answered by Dr. Deepak Sundriyal (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. The information is inconclusive

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I have gone through your details.

A normal white cell count varies from 4000 to 11000. So a count of 1500 should actually be low. Please recheck the report and upload it here, if possible.

Awaiting..
Thanks and regards
