'Leukocyte' or 'leucocyte' in British English?
I'm doing a project on leukaemia and have found two spellings of the word 'leukocyte'. Some sources claim the 'leucocyte' spelling is mainly British, but I've found both spellings in British texts and have no idea which to choose. I have a similar problem with 'leukopenia' v. 'leucopenia'. Can anyone tell me which is the most commonly-used spelling in British English please? Thank you!

Either is acceptable. Words beginning with leuco/leuko are normally spelt leuco in Britain, and leucocyte generally follows that 'rule'. An exception is leukaemia, where the 'k' is invariably used.
In the USA the 'leuko' spelling tends to dominate.
