low WBC count

I had a bloodtest about 2 weeks ago. My WBC is a little bit low, and the report says i have mild leucopenia.  1blood count are as follows:

WBC 4.2 (4.5-11.0)
Neutrophil 59% (40 - 75)
Lymphocyte 36% (20 - 45)
Monocyte 2% (2 - 10)
Eosinophil 2% (0 - 6)
Basophil 1% (0 - 2)

Everything seems to be within the range except WBC. RBC, haemoglobin and platelet count are all within the range.

Back in 2007 when i have my bloodtest done, same thing actually happened. Everything was in normal range except WBC 3.9 (4.5 - 13.0) and lymphocyte 47% (25 - 45).

WBC was low in both test (year 2007 and 2011). Is there any problem with that?

I do not remember anything back then in 2007, but this year, on the night after the blood has been withdrawn, I experienced yeast infection at genital. Days before the blood was taken, I had 2 ulcers in mouth and swollen glands under the jaw.

I'm concern about my health.

I'm not a doctor so please know this is just an opinion, but your WBC doesn't seem to be low enough to be concerned about.  I think some people's "normal"  doesn't always fit on the normal range scale if you know what I mean.   That being said, did your doctor seemed concerned about it?
