A member asked:
What might cause someone to have low hemoglobin and low white blood cell count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities...: Viral infection causing bone marrow suppression. Once the body fights off the virus, the bone marrow recovers and the anemia and leukopenia resolve. More serious causes can include aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia, or other cancers that spread to the bone marrow.
