Answer:

Leukopenia decreases the body ability to fight infection

Explanation:

There are three major types of cells in the blood namely: platelets, red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leucocytes). These cells perform individual functions in the blood tissue, however, the cell saddled with the responsibility of fighting against foreign bodies and preventing the body against infection is the WHITE BLOOD CELL (LEUCOCYTES).

According to this question, Leukopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood. The effect of this decrease in number of white blood cells caused by Leukopenia is a DECREASE IN THE BODY ABILITY TO FIGHT INFECTION.
