What Causes Low White Blood Cell Count?
I have recently had 2 blood tests and both have come back with a low white blood cell count. I had the swine flu a couple years ago; could that be the reason? I'm also pretty tired lately which is one reason I went to the doctor. Other symptoms are typical menopausal symtems and tingling in my feet and legs.

Many cause of low wbc counts are there. Simple viral infection may leads to low wbc count. However its unlikely that its due to swinne flu two year back. You may have some unnoticed infdction and dus to that your wbc count may be low. But if you dont hsvd any other problem then its ok. If you habd sever low wbc count and havd some problems then only go to physician and take treatment as per advised . Otherwise its not needed.
