Bronchitis, Persistent Cough. Low WBC Count. Due To Two Illnesses?
I have been battling bronchitis with a persistent cough . I then got very ill and turned out it was my appendix. While they were trying to figure out my illness they said my white blood cell count was low. The doctors removed my appendix and never brought up my white blood cell issue again. Could the fact I was battling two illnesses lower white blood cells?

you not mentioned the exact count.i think it was not so low because your doctor did not give importance to it.dont worry,repeat the WBC count.if it is again low then consult with medicine specialist.
