I need help...in the 60s my uncle was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder and they called it Leukopenia, about 10 years ago he gave me the modern name for it and I cant remember what it is? Any idea? He passed away 2 years ago, I know Leukopenia describes low WBC count which is what he had due to the disease.
Welcome to Chat Doctor.  I am Chat Doctor. It's my pleasure to help you. Leukopenia is not actually a disease, rather it's a condition that increases the chances of getting affected by several diseases. The body tries to fight against infective organism with the help of leukocytes. The low white blood cells indicate a weakened immune system, so the overall effect of leukemia is an increased risk to infectious diseases. So I think you uncle died due to infection. Keep in touch. Always welcome for further query. Thanx.
