For children, a normal lymphocyte count usually is in between 3,000 and 9,500 lymphocytes per microliter of blood. The term "lymphopenia" describes a matter of less than 1,000 lymphocytes per microliter of blood in adults, or less than 3,000 lymphocytes per microliter of blood in children. The 3 types of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. Most individuals who have lymphopenia have low numbers of T lymphocytes. Mild lymphopenia may not call for therapy. Lymphopenia will likely boost if a hidden condition is successfully treated.
