Low white blood cells can be caused by several things including: viral infection, sepsis, bone cancer, etc. This is just one parameter so it isn't very specific. If there are more findings on bloodwork that you would like to discuss, or any clinical symptoms then feel free to repost your question on the forum or request a consultaiton soon.
