A WBC count of 3100 is below the normal range and is called leukopenia. This can happen due to recent viral infections, medications, vitamin B12 deficiency, or in some cases, reduced bone marrow activity. If you are not experiencing fever or weakness, it may be temporary. A repeat CBC after 1 to 2 weeks is usually advised, along with tests like Vitamin B12 and peripheral smear to check the cause.
