Leukocyte count differences in healthy white and black children 1 to 5 years of age.
A group of 150 healthy American black children were found to have neutrophil counts significantly lower than those of a similar group of healthy American white children. Absolute lymphocyte counts were similar in the black and white children. The lower neutrophil counts in black children may represent a genetic or hitherto unidentified acquired differences.
