Re: [CML] WBC count 49 or 49000

[Richard Troxel]

Thanks correct Megan, blood counts are often abbreviated by leaving off the "000". No one could live with a WBC of 49 since normal is between 4,000 and 7,000. Also, many blood counts are actually given as percentages but most people leave off the "%". penfoldmckenzie2 wrote: Just a quick question.

Eg that her WBC count was 49000 but written as 49? Megan ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Help save the life of a child.
