White Blood Cells Disorders
White blood cell disorders in children involve abnormalities in the cells responsible for fighting infections and maintaining immune health. These disorders can include low white blood cell counts (like leukopenia), high counts (like leukocytosis), or abnormalities in the cells themselves, such as leukemia, which is a cancer of the blood cells. Symptoms might include frequent infections, fatigue, or easy bruising. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, and treatment can range from medications to more intensive therapies like chemotherapy. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial for the best outcomes in pediatric patients.
