A member asked:

My son had slightly low neutrophil granulocytes 1,9 on 20th of march. week later he got cold, no fever. in 24th of april the test was redone but neutrophyles were again 1,9. all other blood values are normal. no other symptoms. can this be leukemia?

Unlikely: A neutrophil count of 1.9 is not critically low. If the boy does not have any other symptoms, e.g. fever, enlarged nodes, bleeding or unresolving infection, It is not leukemia. Leukemias usually have immature cells in the blood which would have been picked up in the process of counting neutrophils.
