I am 40 F and just had a physical and everything seems to be good except, WBC is 2.4, Neutrophils (absolute) 1.5 and Lymphs (absolute) 0.5. I do have an appointment with a Hematologist.
I take wellbutrin 300mg and Seroquel 25mg per day, would the medications cause the low WBC?
My mother has Lupus.
Could this be a simple infection or should I be more concerned about HIV/Cancer. Is there anything I can eat (fruit, vegetables, vitamin C, etc.) that will help my body recover from the low wbc?
Thank you for your time.

 Hi Sherri2003,
Borderline or low levels of WBC's may be found in healthy individuals without and underlying condition or disease process. However, some causative factors of a decreased WBC levels are with the use of some medications (typically chemotherapy agents), chemical exposure (related to certain professions), infections viral/bacterial, autoimmune conditions, bone marrow dysfunction, etc. Wellbutrin or Seroquel , to my knowledge would not affect WBC levels. I hope your hematology appointment goes well.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
