Brief Answer:
3800 is low.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again,
White blood cells 3800 is considered as a low (normal range is 4000-11000 depending upon the lab variations because in some laboratories the normal range is 3500-10500) and it can be seen in viral infection.
But I want to ask some questions here.
Why your daughter tested blood on Friday? If the test was performed for self assessment (health check up) ? If it was ordered by her doctor?
If the test was ordered by a doctor, I would like to know the reasons why she met the doctor in the first place.

3800 is low.
