Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not consistent with leukemia, but you ought to consult the doctor who ordered these tests. Wish you good health!

Post viral: Leukopenia is relatively common. Sometimes meds used for symptom control such as NSAIDS can cause transient leukopenia as well. Suspect a typo for platelets at 2000, as that will be even more worrisome than the leukocyte count. Serial counts under the care of a hematologist may help in this setting. Leukemia does not appear likely with limited available information.
