Leukopenia (from Greek λευκός (leukos) 'white' and πενία (penia) 'deficiency') is a decrease in the number of leukocytes (WBC). Found in the blood, they are the white blood cells, and are the body's primary defense against an infection. Thus the condition of leukopenia places individuals at increased risk of infection.
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
However, platelet transfusion is suggested for platelet counts below (10 × 10 9 /L) without any risk of bleeding, or (20 × 10 9 /L) with a high risk of bleeding, or (50 × 10 9 /L) with active bleeding, before planned surgery or an invasive procedure. [5] IV immunoglobulin is not recommended because its beneficial effects are uncertain. [5]
Neutropenia is an abnormally low concentration of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood. [4] Neutrophils make up the majority of circulating white blood cells and serve as the primary defense against infections by destroying bacteria , bacterial fragments and immunoglobulin -bound viruses in the blood .

Leukodystrophy is characterized by specific symptoms, including decreased motor function, muscle rigidity, and eventual degeneration of sight and hearing. While the disease is fatal, the age of onset is a key factor, as infants have a typical life expectancy of 2–8 years, while adults typically live more than a decade after onset.
[5] [6] [7] Other definitions include less than 10 cells/μLiter, while some clinical laboratories classify 0 cells/μLiter as within the acceptable range. [3] The diagnosis of eosinopenia is challenging due to the low number of eosinophils normally present in blood and the fluctuations in eosinophil levels throughout the day.
