34 Year Old With Leukopenia. Low WBC. Bone Marrow Biopsy Negative. Pregnancy Confirmed. Any Danger To The Fetus?
My 34 daughter has had leukopenia for 18 months, with WBC counts ranging from 0.6 to 1.8. A bone marrow biopsy was negative and after numerous blood tests and seeing every kind of specialist, there still has been no cause found for her condition. She just found out she is pregnant and as her mother 3000 miles away I'm quite concerned. Any danger to her and the fetus?

Hi,
A WBC count which ranges between 0.6-1.8 is quite low and there might be a risk of infection. Infections during pregnancy might complicate the pregnancy and affect the baby as well.
Your Obstretician will be on the look-out for these complications and might even give your daughter some antibiotics to prevent infections.
Hope that things turn out well for you.
