Answer:

Sounds like Leukemia

Step-by-step explanation:

Leukemia usually involves the white blood cells. Your white blood cells are potent infection fighters — they normally grow and divide in an orderly way, as your body needs them. But in people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells, which don't function properly.

Answer:

Neutropenia and leukopenia

Step-by-step explanation:

The doctor should suggest that you wear a face mask and avoid as many people as you can to avoid an infection. Depending on the kind of white blood cell you may need a different treatment. Growth factors, medications, specific diet, and staying at home can all be treatments for this.
