Arabic term

تلوث

Arabic to English Medical Medical (general) blood profile
in the context of "a drop in the white blood cell count might lead to ..." therefore it has to be something caused by lowered immunity - "infection" in English perhaps?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +6 infection
3 +2 Contamination

Zeinab Asfour Aug 1, 2006:
A low white blood cell count can be the result of infection, make an individual more susceptible to outside infections or allow multiplication of organisms within the body which would normally kept in check by a healthy immune system...
Maureen Millington-Brodie (asker) Aug 1, 2006:
من فضلكم عندما يكون تعداد كريات الدم البيضاء منخفضًا قد تتطور لديك تلوث

Could you give us the Arabic context wherein the word تلوث has occurred? Thanks.

White blood cells: These cells help your body fight infection. A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) can lead to infection, a dangerous and sometimes deadly complication of cancer treatment.
