  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pediatric-white-blood-cell-disorders/symptoms-causes/syc-20352674

  Children with pediatric white blood cell disorders have too few or too many white blood cells. […] A low white blood cell count, also called leukopenia, means having too few leukocytes in the blood. […] A high white blood cell count, also called leukocytosis, means having too many leukocytes in the blood. […] Symptoms depend on the type of white blood cell and whether there are too few or too many of them. […] The cause of pediatric white blood cell disorders depends on the type of white blood cell that’s affected. […] Cancer and conditions that damage bone marrow can cause this low neutrophil count. […] Syndromes passed through families, known as inherited syndromes, can cause too few lymphocytes. […] Infections, cancer, autoimmune diseases and other conditions can cause a rise in the number of monocytes.

  https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/neutropenia

  Neutropenia is a rare disorder that causes children to have lower than normal levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that destroys bacteria in the blood and helps protect against infections. Neutropenia can be a very serious condition. Without enough neutrophils, the body is susceptible to bacterial infections that can become life-threatening. […] Children with neutropenia tend to develop infections easily because their white blood cell count is too low to ward off bacteria. Most infections occur in the lungs, mouth, throat, ears, sinuses and skin. Some patients experience painful mouth ulcers and disease of the tissue surrounding the teeth, as well as infections of the urinary tract, colon, rectum or reproductive tract. […] Treatment for neutropenia includes: […] Children with severe neutropenia often develop infections requiring antibiotics and possible hospitalization. Repeated use of antibiotics, however, can have side effects, such as the development of drug-resistant bacteria or diarrhea or enterocolitis, an inflammation of the intestines. Some antibiotics may also have adverse effects on kidney and liver function.
