A white blood cell count of 3,000/uL is below the normal range of 4,500-11,000/uL and indicates leukopenia, which is a decrease in the number of white blood cells. This may be a result of various conditions including infections, autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow disorders.
