The term "lymphocyte" can be translated to "white blood cell"--lymphocytes are just one of a few different types of white blood cells in the body. The normal lymphocyte count for an adult is between 1000 and 4800 cells per microliter; lymphocytopenia is a lymphocyte count lower than the norm. Lymphocytes are important to the human immune system, so a low lymphocyte count may mean you're more vulnerable to infection or other problems.
