“WBC?”

WBC = white blood cells: (LEUKOCYTES) most of the time indicates that you are fighting infection or inflammation. Normal range is 4,500 to 11,000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 x 109/L). Normal range for adult WBCs is 5,000-100,000/mL. WBC less than 4,000 per microliter (mL), is concerning and you would need to seek medical help. WBCs 2,700 mL is too low and you may be not able to fight infection.
There are three major classifications of WBCs. The main purpose oof WBCs, are to recognize intruders.
• Monocytes – They have the longer lifespan than other WBCs. They help to break down bacteria.
• Lymphocytes – They create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other invaders to the body.
• Granulocytes – They kill and digest bacteria, fungi, and many other things. Neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils are a subset of granulocytes. Basophils are mainly responsible for allergens. Eosinophils are responsible for parasitic infections.
You can start booting your WBCs by eating better. Meaning some source of proteins like beek, eggs, poultry, milk, Greek yogurt, and beans. Please, check with a hematologist or your health care provider.

You do not need to be concerned. It depends on the differential count, which is probably normal as your physician did not mention it. There is nothing you can do to raise the white blood count. It should correct over time.

Be concerned. See a hematologist.
