Mostly your bone marrow has to do that. I was not able to find much information that seemed helpful.
What I do know because of experience with cancer is that in order to treat it the docs need to know what is causing it. It means your bone marrow is compromised somehow. There are some drugs that can be prescribed for it if they know the cause. If it is a one time thing, it is probably not a big deal.
Low numbers of WBCs (leukopenia) may indicate:
- bone marrow failure (for example, due to infection, tumor, fibrosis)
- presence of cytotoxic substance
- collagen-vascular diseases (such as lupus erythematosus)
- disease of the liver or spleen
- radiation
I hope this information is of some help.

First, yu have to know the cause of not having a normal WBC count. It is not normal to have such because this is anatural defense of the body and it is naturally produced in the body. No need for predisposing factors or nutrients because the immune system works on it. The bones, the spleen, the liver..they help out in prodution of these cells. Problems in production may arise if one of these primary organs is affected and so..you have to treat that particular organ. If there is a disease present like HIV, bacterial or viral in origin, the count will also decreased dramatically. You have to be very careful with this beacuse WBC's are the natural soldiers of the body. As much as I know there is no way to increase them artificially bUT you can help them by helping your body like taking vitamin C or nutrients.Hope this helps. God bless!

how low is it? If it's not too bad, it could be, like me. If they have a hard time finding your vein and taking blood, the wbc sticks to the test tube and you could get an inaccurate low count.

Drugs that may increase WBC counts include epinephrine, allopurinol, aspirin, chloroform, heparin, quinine, corticosteroids, and triamterene.
Drugs that may decrease WBC counts include antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antihistamine, antithyroid drugs, arsenicals, barbiturates, chemotherapeutic agents, diuretics, and sulfonamides.
hope this helps
