Yes. A WBC count of 2.3 is potentially problematic (no matter what your weight is). Check with your physician, as soon as possible, regarding the underlying cause of your leukopenia. Certain medications can cause WBC counts to drop. Also, certain pathologic conditions, including significant viral infections (among others) can cause low WBC counts, as well.

Is white blood cell count 90 dangerous?
White blood cells (leukocytes) make up about 1% of our blood and they help protect the body against illness and disease. White blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and stored in the blood and lymph tissues. What Is the Function of White Blood Cells? There are several different types of white blood cells that each have slightly different functions. Neutrophils These white blood cells are the body’s first line of defense when infection occurs They kill and digest bacteria and fungi and turn into pus when they die These are the most numerous type of white blood cell, comprising about 60 to 70% of the total number of white blood cells Lymphocytes These white blood cells create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other harmful germs There are many different types of lymphocytes They make up about 30% of the total number of white blood cells Monocytes These white blood cells have a longer lifespan than other white blood cells and help to break down bacteria They make up about 8% of the total number of white blood cells Eosinophils These white blood cells attack and kill parasites and cancer cells They also help with allergic responses They make up about 1 to 3% of the total number of white blood cells Basophils These white blood cells release histamine during an allergic reaction which promotes blood flow to the body’s tissues They play a role in fighting infection They make up about 0.5% of the total number of white blood cells What Is a Dangerous White Blood Cell Count? A normal white blood cell count is generally about 4,500 to 11,000/μL. White blood cell counts that are too high or too low may be dangerous, depending on the cause. A high white blood cell count is called leukocytosis, which is generally diagnosed when white blood cell levels exceed 11,000/μL. This occurs when the immune system is stimulated in some way. Causes of high white blood cell counts include: Infections, such as bacterial infections Leukemia and lymphoma, which are types of cancers Trauma Extensive wounds or burns Acute or chronic inflammation such as from autoimmune disease, allergies, and other inflammatory problems Cigarette smoking Use of certain drugs, including corticosteroids heparin, lithium, albuterol, and similar drugs A low white blood cell count is called leucopenia, which is generally diagnosed when white blood cell levels are below 4,500/μL. Causes of low white blood cell counts include: Tumors or disease in the bone marrow Certain drugs, such as chemotherapy for cancer, some antibiotics and diuretics, anti-thyroid hormone drugs, captopril, seizure medications, and others Liver and spleen problems Radiation therapy to treat cancer Leukemia and other cancers Physical or emotional stress

Does Rheumatoid arthiritis cause WBC to be 26?
No on the contrary Normal white blood cell count is about 4.3 to 8.10. White blood cells can go down from many conditions and certain medications. The main purpose of WBCs is to fight infection so if they are decreased your body may not be able to fight off infections. Some cause include: 1. Viral infections 2. Congenital disorders 3. Cancer 4. Autoimmune disorders such as Rheumatoid arthritis. 5. Overwhelming infections that use up white blood cells faster than they can be produced 6. Drugs that destroy white blood cells The underlying cause for low WBC count needs to be found in order to determine treatment.
