When I was on Tapazole, I carried a script for blood work in case I ever developed an infection while on the medication. There can be an impact on white cell count, but this side effect is very rare. Had I developed an infection, the doctor would have stopped the medication until my the white cell count returned to normal.

I want to say that with an infection, your white cell count goes higher, not lower. Sorry I can't be more specific, it has been a while since I went off the medication (total thyroidectomy in May '06)

If you are concerned, give your doctor a call.
