Can leukopenia be treated?
Leukopenia is a result, and the only way it can be directly treated is by transfusing white blood cells, which is almost never done. To treat leukopenia effectively, we have to treat the underlying cause, be it a viral infection, a cancer, an autoimmune disease or even a rare genetic condition.
In most cases, the immediate threat to your life is not leukopenia but what caused it in the first place, and a thorough examination as well as necessary investigations by your treating physician ensure the correct diagnosis. When the main condition is treated, your white blood cells or leukocytes will return to their normal levels.
