HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Low white blood cell count (leucopenia) can occur in a variety of settings , some more serious than others.
Possible causes are infection, side effect of medication, conditions such as myelodysplastic syndrome or some cases of leukemia.
In most cases, it is not due to serious illness.
HPV can lead to warts or changes in the cervix but some persons may have the virus with no symptoms or signs.
I hope this helps
